The pivotal moment is here. If we get it right, we can profoundly reduce climate risk while helping humanity thrive.
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.

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.

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.
This months news features research demonstrating the economic benefits of bolder climate policy in Europe, a report explaining how to tackle embodied carbon emissions in buildings, a win for energy efficiency in South Africa, parking reform in Chennai, updates from Climate Week, and much more news from across the Alliance.
By exchanging experiences and strategies, think tanks from different countries can leverage interdependencies to shape innovative, win-win policies that are not only effective but also equitable.
Crux Alliance Senior Advisor, Chris Grundler, shares his reflections following the Crux Alliance’s two featured Climate Week events on public bus electrification and energy justice.
