Our plans for climate policy impact in 2025
January 27, 2025
The Crux Alliance is ready to capture the biggest opportunities for clean energy transformation in 2025.
The world must get
the climate response right.
Right now.
The pivotal moment is here. If we get it right, we can profoundly reduce climate risk while helping humanity thrive.
With the right policies
we will get it right.
The Crux Alliance is a group of globally recognized, technically expert organizations that are laser-focused on advancing policies—unbiased, pragmatic, and localized—to generate powerful action in the countries and sectors that matter most for carbon reduction. Crux Alliance members support policymakers around the world working to retire polluting power plants and to replace polluting vehicles, factories, and buildings with low-carbon alternatives—and to grow these alternatives at speed and scale. The Crux Alliance is all about getting climate policy right, right now.

Together the Crux Alliance is
already making an impact.
Over the past five years, Crux Alliance members provided effective and ambitious policy design and advisory support that will avoid more than 4 billion tons of CO2e by 2030. While reductions already achieved are promising, there is more to be done. The Crux Alliance is targeting critical policy windows that can drive down carbon emissions by another 13 gigatons by 2030. There is no time to waste.

Carbon reduction is the mission.
Policy design is the mechanism.
To immediately bend the global carbon curve, the Crux Alliance concentrates its efforts on the countries and energy sectors that will have the greatest impact right now. Member NGOs work with decision-makers to capture policy opportunities that support the biggest and most immediate carbon reductions, with a larger goal—transforming to a zero-carbon future and a healthier, more sustainable world.
