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.
