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. The members of the Crux Alliance, known as Crux Policy Centers (CPCs), 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 decade, the CPCs provided effective and ambitious policy design and advisory support that helped reduce more than 5 billion tons of annual CO2e by the end of 2020. The CPCs are striving to do it again in this decade—and more. With bold policies, this work targets the critical policy windows that can drive down carbon emissions by another 13 gigatons by 2030. While reductions already achieved are promising, there is more to be done and 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. The CPCs 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.
What will this year’s elections mean for the future of sustainable urban development? The Institute for Transportation and Development Policy shares insights.
Compared to other transport investments (highways, airports, etc.), public transport receives far less support. Despite this, we know that public transport is vital to the functioning of all cities around the world, and buses and minibuses are the backbone of public transport.
This report captures insights from regulators’ experiences in elevating decarbonization in their decision making, and offers an in-depth look at nine global examples of creative prioritization of decarbonization.
