About Climate Catalyst 

Climate Catalyst is a non-profit dedicated to galvanizing the collective power of business, investors, and civil society to influence and accelerate policy change in Asia and Europe. Our vision is a just, prosperous world in which global warming is limited to 1.5°C.

Climate Catalyst works to strengthen collaboration and mobilise new actors on pivotal climate challenges in heavy emitting industries. We build power and compel political leaders to act at the speed and scale needed to tackle the climate crisis. We do this by:

• Working behind the scenes with stakeholders in Europe and Asia to identify critical climate issues where action to date has been limited, and the potential for collaboration is high.
• Bringing together renowned experts and new entrants to share ideas, and design and deliver creative campaigns that secure decisive changes in national and regional policy to deliver sectoral tipping points and secure significant emissions reductions. 
• Advising on strategy, offering grants and bringing creative communications, advocacy and business expertise to build power across the climate community and catalyse action.

To date, we’ve used this model successfully to mobilise the business community in support of the EU Nature Restoration Law, the first legislation for peatlands protection across Europe, and spark collective action in India that led to a commitment from the Ministry of Steel to develop a green steel roadmap.
