Climate Strategies’ Pathway to Impact 2026-2029 Summary

Climate Strategies' 2026-2029 strategy focuses on bridging the gap between research and policy to drive systemic climate change mitigation and adaptation. The organization identifies five strategic impact areas: transitioning oil- and gas-dependent economies, enhancing nature-based food systems, empowering the global majority, governing carbon and climate innovation technologies, and countering climate obstruction. To achieve these, the organization plans to transform its business model by enhancing horizon scanning, diversifying its membership, engaging the private sector through blended models, and strengthening its Secretariat's operational capacity.

• Climate Strategies identifies five strategic impact areas to guide its work: transitioning fossil-fuel dependent nations toward equitable prosperity, protecting biodiversity and using nature-based solutions for food systems, promoting leadership from emerging economies and climate-vulnerable regions, addressing the governance and equity of carbon management technologies, and using research to counteract climate obstruction and misinformation.
• The organization's Theory of Change relies on acting as knowledge brokers and mediators to translate insights across sectors, creating safe spaces for diverse stakeholders—particularly marginalized communities—and coordinating global projects to bridge research, policy, and practice.
• The organization aims to address the risks and governance of specific emerging technologies, including carbon dioxide removal (CDR), carbon capture and storage (CCS), and solar radiation modification (SRM), to ensure they provide socially accepted and just climate solutions.
• To support its strategic goals, Climate Strategies is implementing a business model transformation focused on four pillars: improving horizon scanning and philanthropic engagement, diversifying the membership model, developing public-private-philanthropic partnerships with the private sector, and increasing the fundraising and communications capacity of its Secretariat.
