Climate Action Ecosystem
This workstream works on the coordination and cooperation of the ‘ecosystem’ of global climate action initiatives. The number and scale of the sector-based cooperative initiatives that drive climate action have grown rapidly in recent years. Yet the landscape of initiatives is fragmented, complex and uneven. Better coordination and cooperation among advocates, thought leaders, and policy insiders are essential to driving sectoral transformation with the speed, scale and justice required.
Mapping the ecosystem of global climate action
This interactive map provides an overview of key initiatives and actors across the global ecosystem of cooperative climate action.
As a complex system, there is no single way to view the landscape. This tool allows customised views based on particular sectors, functions, geography, and types of actors. This is a non-exhaustive mapping of the totality of actors, institutions and initiatives driving sectoral climate action.
N.b. As this tool emerges from an ongoing iterative process, the entities listed here only capture a partial rendering of the full landscape of actors and initiatives taking action across the world. For further recommended suggestions, or to receive updates on the evolution of this platform as we seek to scale, please fill out this short form.
