Mission & Goals
The Shift Project is a think tank working towards an economy free from carbon constraints. We are a French non-profit association, operating in the public interest and guided by scientific rigor. Our mission is to inform and influence the debate on the energy transition. The Shift Project is supported by business leaders who want to make the energy transition their strategic priority. It is backed by a network of several thousand volunteers gathered in an association called The Shifters.
