WHY OUR WORK MATTERS

Climate change is a global emergency. The impact of human activity on greenhouse gas emissions and land use have compounded environmental harm and created an escalating crisis. The devastation to our planet and to humanity will be immense if we don’t move urgently to limit the damage. A drastic reduction in greenhouse emissions is needed if we are to stand a chance of staying below 1.5°C of warming relative to pre-industrial levels and prevent major climate disasters. The scale of the problem calls for a transformation of our energy systems and markets, and the creation of a zero-carbon society. 

 Asia is home to some of the world’s fastest growing economies: rising incomes coupled with a relatively young population is fueling rapidly growing energy demand. Ensuring a rapid decline in Asia's climate emissions is critical to the future health of our planet and all living systems within it.    

    

 It is also a region that showcases massive potential for renewable energy, resulting in new opportunities, jobs, economic development and a thriving Asia.
