Overview

The Center for Climate and Energy Solutions (C2ES) works to secure a safe and stable climate by accelerating the global transition to net-zero greenhouse gas emissions and a thriving, just, and resilient economy. C2ES is the successor to the Pew Center on Global Climate Change, long recognized in the United States and abroad as an influential and pragmatic voice on climate issues. Our mission is to secure a safe and stable climate by accelerating the global transition to net-zero greenhouse gas emissions and a thriving, just, and resilient economy. Through our research and dialogues, we answer pressing questions, identify roadblocks to progress, and forge new solutions:

Accelerating a Net-Zero Pathway for the United States: C2ES is a leading voice championing effective and ambitious climate policy solutions. We work with businesses and policymakers to develop and advocate policies that can cut U.S. emissions 50 to 52% below 2005 levels by 2030 and put the country on a path to net-zero emissions by 2050.

Delivering on the Paris Agreement: C2ES has been deeply involved in the United Nations climate talks for well over a decade, facilitating informal, closed-door senior level dialogue among key countries informed by expert analysis.

Building Resilience: C2ES convenes stakeholders and identifies strategies and policies for all levels of government to help communities and businesses adapt to climate change. We focus on demonstrating how and where climate resilience boosts economic competitiveness and building constituencies in support of that proposition.
