The Crux Alliance April update
April 9, 2026
This month’s update spotlights fresh e-momentum for e-cooking, how industrial electrification can benefit Europe, integrating equity into buildings policy, and much more!
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.
Since 2018, the Crux Alliance has supported ambitious and effective climate policies that will avoid more than 57 billion tons of planet-heating pollution by 2050. While reductions already achieved are promising, there is much more to be done. The Crux Alliance is targeting critical policy windows between now and 2030 that can drive down greenhouse gas emissions by another 114 billion tons by 2050. 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.
