Mission & Goals
We close the gaps in global climate action using law, economics and policy. Our goal is to transform the world economy into a clean, net-negative economy that supports the world’s ecosystems and peoples at the same time. Opportunity Green uses legal, economic and policy knowledge to tackle climate change. We believe international emissions should be reduced in accordance with a 1.5°C pathway to zero by 2050 and we find bold and impactful solutions to make that goal a reality. The principles of global equity and sustainable development are at the heart of our mission. Our work focuses on equity, justice, and accountability, while aiming to ensure no one is left behind on the journey to global decarbonisation. We are the Secretariat to the Skies and Seas Hydrogen-fuels Accelerator (SASHA) Coalition which aims to unify aviation and shipping to raise awareness of the vital role of green hydrogen in the decarbonisation of these two sectors.
