Our Impact
Smart policies are the solution
Greenhouse gas reduction only happens by changing the physical infrastructure that supports the economy—individual power plants, buildings, vehicles, and factories—so no matter how ambitious a commitment, progress comes down to actions on the ground. These actions are shaped by national and state/provincial policies, in interaction with evolving technology and economics. Fortunately, in each sector, only a handful of core policies will make the difference, putting us on track to reach our climate goals.

Policies Make A Difference
The Crux Alliance unlocks bold policymaking
Designing good policy requires deep knowledge of complex energy systems, extensive domestic and international policy experience, and a nuanced understanding of the local conditions. Few jurisdictions have deep policy expertise in each energy sector already at hand. The Crux Alliance helps address these constraints by ensuring world-class, in-country technical capacity is in place when policymakers need it. Our unique niche is equipping policymakers with the research, tools, and expert assistance they need to advance bold policy.
