Our support programme to partners

  • Where to start
  • Action plan

“Where to start?” This question, which arises often, tends to create blockages in organisations and present a barrier to action. The Climate Action Acceleration believes in making climate action open and accessible, feasible and scalable for its partners.

Our support programme

At the Climate Action Accelerator, we are dedicated to empowering committed organisations to halve their emissions by 2030 and enhance the climate resilience of the essential services they offer to populations. Our comprehensive support programme is designed to help partners achieve these goals through a solutions hub, a network of experts, and a “one-stop-shop” approach.

To achieve this, our support programme includes guidance to our partners in elaborating:

  • A strategic commitment

    Support in understanding the implications of the climate challenge and its impacts on populations and operations, and setting science-based targets that align with this urgency.

  • A carbon footprint assessment

    Methodological and technical support to partners for the initial carbon footprint measurement, and for the implementation of a long-term carbon footprint measurement and monitoring system adapted to their activities and respecting international reference standards (Greenhouse Gas Protocol).

  • A decarbonisation roadmap

    Co-construction with partners for a climate and environmental roadmap, through a state-of-affairs assessment, collaborative workshops, identification of solutions, emissions trajectory modelling as well as costs and savings estimates.

  • A system of continuous improvement

    Technical support to partners by providing access to tools and training to help implement solutions in the priority areas of procurement of goods and services, freight, travel, energy and buildings, waste, food and digital.

The responsibility to play a leading role in reducing environmental degradation can no longer be “morally offset” by the noble cause of saving lives. The sector must become part of the solution to decarbonise by 2050. If emissions are not brought down to net zero by then, the science basically says it’s game over.

Are you ready to come on board?

Once an organisation has acknowledged the climate crisis and the impact on its beneficiaries, has raised awareness internally and at the highest-level of management, a strategic commitment that rallies the whole entity and aligns the organisation’s actions naturally follows. From awareness comes commitment, and from strong commitment comes concrete action.  

Is your organisation ready to embark on an ecological transition, and do its part to contain global warming and support the climate resilience of vulnerable populations?
