Climate Change

Our vision is a decade of bold action to fully decarbonise the global economic system and lock away carbon from the atmosphere by recarbonising our depleted soils and ecosystems. The radical changes this brings are managed so that the benefits come to every community, including those currently dependent on fossil fuel industries. The result is a rapid and just transition to a ‘carbon positive’ economy that limits global warming to 1.5°C and provides to clean energy, mobility and meaningful livelihoods.

What are our goals?

In the next three years we aim to:

Build new narratives about the risks of climate change and the benefits of a rapid and just transition to a ‘carbon positive’ economy.
Scope, create and scale-up solutions that move us rapidly towards our vision across energy, mobility and ecosystems.
Help organisations develop strategies that are aligned with the goal of staying under 1.5°C, and which help to catalyse widespread societal action and system change.

Jobs

Sustainability and system change

Cotton 2040

The production of sustainable cotton has enormous potential to create positive change. Sourcing more sustainable cotton is essential to reducing the apparel sector’s negative impacts and ensuring future supply.

The Protein Challenge 2040

Protein is fundamental to human health, but the way we currently produce and eat it has significant impacts on both human and environmental health, and is fundamentally unsupportable in the long run.

Transformational strategies

Pioneering organisations create systemic impacts beyond their own boundaries. We help them understand the opportunities, and how to unlock them.

Fashion Futures 2025

Working with Levi Strauss and Co using futures techniques to develop global scenarios for a sustainable fashion industry.

Feed Compass: acting on animal feed

Animal feed is an unseen yet vital input in the food industry that has significant impacts on environmental health and food security. Nearly half of global agricultural land is used for livestock feed production and more than a fifth of wild caught fish is fed to animals. Feed contributes to 45% of greenhouse gas emissions from livestock production, and much of it comprises high-value foods rich in nutrition, such as soy and maize.
