The climate crisis is one of the most pressing matters of our time. By transitioning to clean energy and reducing our dependence on fossil fuels, we can minimise our carbon footprint and slow down the effects of climate change. Affordable and Clean Energy goes hand-in-hand with global warming – in order to meet our long term climate goals, we must look towards green energy. Here are the incredible people, campaigns and think tanks helping tackle clean energy.

Global Wind Energy Council

The Global Wind Energy Council is the international trade association for the wind power industry. Its mission is to secure wind power as the answer to today’s energy challenges, ensuring real environmental and economic benefits. The council works with governments in over 80 countries to provide information about the benefits and potential of wind power and supports policy makers in helping add clean power to their energy mix.

Switched on London

Switched on London is campaigning for a publicly owned energy company that London can be proud of.

People for Power

The UK energy policy is blocking the growth of renewables, and Power For People is campaigning for solutions to stop this. The non-profit organisation is working to benefit local communities and pushing for the UK to transition to 100% clean energy, and fast. Join them here.

Beyond Coal

Mining and burning coal has devastating effects on public health, the environment, and the global climate. Beyond Coal is working to end Europe’s dependence on coal, and shift towards renewable energy, all by 2030. The sooner it happens, the better chance we have to tackle the climate crisis, to avoid premature health conditions, and ensure cleaner air and water for all. Find out more here. 

The Fair Energy Campaign

Over 4 million people in the UK live in fuel poverty. The Fair Energy Campaign is a social movement to raise the bar in energy supply standards and aims to tackle fuel poverty systemically by addressing unbalanced pricing which often leads to debt in low-income households. Join the movement here. 

Ember

Ember is a team of energy professionals who are passionate about the future of the energy sector and all have the same mission: to accelerate the transition to clean energy and tackle the coal problem. They’re working hard to phase-out coal-power by 2030, and without an expansion in false solutions such as fossil gas or unsustainable biomass. Join them here. 

The International Energy Agency

The International Energy Agency is your go-to for all energy information. IEA is made up of 30 member countries and 8 association countries, and provides data, statistics and solutions on all fuels and technologies. Their mission is to shape and secure a sustainable energy future for all. Learn more here.
