Our mission

We’re bringing together policymakers, industry partners and community leaders to build enduring power for climate action and system change at critical energy nexus points.

Guiding principles

The climate crisis is a global issue that requires a unified response. These are our guiding principles as we build a more innovative and progressive world.

Solutions-oriented

We approach the climate crisis with a solutions-oriented mindset, leveraging the latest research, technology, and creative thinking to develop effective strategies that drive real-world change. We are dedicated to identifying and overcoming the obstacles that stand in the way of a sustainable future.

Collaboration

By fostering a culture of open communication and mutual respect, we amplify our collective impact. Together, we share knowledge, pool resources, and implement strategies that are more powerful than any one entity could achieve alone.

Collective action

We believe that by acting together, we can accelerate the transition to a sustainable world. Through our initiatives, we harness our collective energy to push for systemic change and hold stakeholders accountable.

Our focus

Energy is the lifeblood of infrastructure, transportation, and logistics, so we target critical nexus points where these sectors converge.

Ports are key energy hubs, facilitating energy trade and providing essential infrastructure for electricity and fuel needs across transport modes. This makes ports a prime catalyst for transformative change. As we grow, we’re set on applying this approach to other strategic targets, advancing climate action across the broader energy sector.
