TRANSATLANTIC CLIMATE ALLIANCE
Innovative ideas are everywhere. But often, cities, states, counties, and regions would benefit from greater collaboration, support, and education to put those ideas into action to address our global climate crisis. The Transatlantic Climate Alliance was created to address this need. We bring together climate allies and leaders to help implement decarbonization pathways, transition to a sustainable, fossil-free future, and prevent the worst effects of climate change. Because time is of the essence.
- Share best practices
- Accelerate the adoption of zero-carbon technologies
- Convene climate allies and subnational leaders to catalyze climate mitigation and adaptation
Mission
The Transatlantic Climate Alliance is a developing non-governmental organization that fosters subnational collaboration through its Transatlantic Climate Council to help leaders accelerate decarbonization pathways, transition to a sustainable future, and prevent the worst effects of our global climate crisis.
Vision
In a world overflowing with climate goals – but short on climate progress – the Transatlantic Climate Alliance is focused on “The HOW.”
The Transatlantic Climate Alliance will convene public and private sector leaders to serve as Advisors on its Transatlantic Climate Council where they will share and develop best practices designed to empower the adoption of clean energy, promote green jobs, and accelerate climate adaptation & mitigation measures at the subnational level.
By expediting the exchange of information between experts in science & technology, research & development, finance & economics, manufacturing & infrastructure, labor & workforce, policy & government, education & training, equity & inclusion, advocacy & civil society…
The Transatlantic Climate Alliance, through its Transatlantic Climate Council, will bring climate allies and leaders together to act as a catalyst and accelerator to close the glaring gap between the pace of our climate action and the impending crisis unraveling before our eyes.
Values
“In a world overflowing with climate goals – but short on climate progress… the Transatlantic Climate Alliance is focused on ‘The HOW.’”
In the Transatlantic Climate Alliance Vision Statement excerpt above, “The HOW” refers to the practical steps needed to bring a clean energy future to fruition. But “The HOW” also means the manner in which these solutions are established, prioritized, and put forth with respect to Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion.
The Transatlantic Climate Alliance understands that beyond its inherent geographic diversity as an international collaborative, true diversity requires drawing from groups across all racial, ethnic, cultural, and socioeconomic boundaries. The Transatlantic Climate Alliance acknowledges that its efforts to help investigate problems, build networks, design strategies, and implement solutions are enriched and enhanced by diverse voices and opinions.
The Alliance also understands the need for proactive inclusion to properly ensure that historically disenfranchised groups have equitable access & meaningful opportunities to contribute at every level of the decision making process. The Alliance acknowledges this does not happen by chance, and that inherent bias serves as a significant barrier to genuine justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion.
In order to ensure these key considerations have been adequately prioritized, the Transatlantic Climate Alliance hereby establishes a Transatlantic Climate Council of Justice, Equity, Diversity, & Inclusion (JEDI). The “JEDI” Council will advise on the work of every other Transatlantic Climate Council and any solutions, reports, or strategies put forth for the Transatlantic Climate Alliance.
