To reach this goal, we’ve created a coalition of governments and the world’s most influential businesses – all committed to tackling climate change. Through this coalition, we’re helping to set the targets, create the policies, build the confidence, and generate the political willpower needed to make the changes the world requires by 2050.

We are an international, non-profit organisation. We act independently, with no political agenda or vested interests. Our people come from different backgrounds, and from all over the world.

Our work on Cities and ICT

The °Climate Group partners with innovative thinkers and world leading organisations to deliver 'game-changing' initiatives - projects that will make the biggest difference in the least amount of time.

In 2008, we published the SMART 2020 report in partnership with the Global e-Sustainability Initiative (GeSI) and McKinsey which found that 15% of global emissions in 2020 can be reduced through innovative ICT-enabled solutions for energy efficiency and carbon abatement.

Since 2007, The Climate Group has been working on cities through the HSBC Climate Partnership, which brings together The °Climate Group, Earthwatch Institute, Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute (STRI) and WWF. Our cities work focuses on Hong Kong, London, Mumbai, New York and Shanghai, supporting government and business leadership to tackle climate change.
