Our projects

We provide technical support to vulnerable developing countries to develop 2035 Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) and Long Term Low Emissions Development Strategies (LT-LEDS). The project aims to empower these countries to develop more ambitious emissions reduction and adaptation targets that contribute to global efforts in achieving the Paris Agreement.

This project aims to empower island communities to assess what risks they face from flooding under different climate scenarios and help them determine which adaptation strategies will work best for their circumstances.

Fossil gas has long been marketed as a “bridge fuel” on the way to a cleaner energy system – a less-polluting alternative to coal. But this is a dangerous fallacy promoted by vested interests. Our research shows gas needs to be phased out globally by 2045 for the world to meet its climate commitments.

Since 2013 we have been working in vulnerable countries to enhance the capacity of those organisations with the designated authority to coordinate with the Green Climate Fund and access climate finance.

The Global Mitigation Potential Atlas quantifies countries’ mitigation potential, with a view to inspire greater ambition to reduce emissions and implementation efforts, and identify optimal pathways towards 1.5°C

This project aims to equip representatives from African countries with the knowledge, skills and networks needed to develop and implement long-term low emission development strategies. Here, we feature our work in Togo, Cote d’Ivoire and Benin.
