About the Center for Climate and Energy Solutions (C2ES):&nbsp;Our mission is to secure a safe and stable climate by accelerating the transition to a thriving, just, and resilient low-carbon economy. We are widely recognized as an influential voice on climate issues, a trusted convener, and a credible source of expertise and analysis. We work closely with international climate negotiators; federal, state, and local policymakers; executives of Fortune 500 businesses; and a wide range of other stakeholders to advance strong policy and action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, promote clean energy, and strengthen resilience to climate impacts. C2ES is an independent, nonpartisan, nonprofit organization.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
About the Energy Transition Accelerator (ETA):&nbsp;C2ES is the Secretariat of the Energy Transition Accelerator (ETA), a joint initiative of the U.S. Department of State, The Rockefeller Foundation, and the Bezos Earth Fund to catalyze private capital, including through voluntary carbon markets, to accelerate the transition from dirty to clean power in emerging and developing economies. In accelerating the clean energy transition, the ETA will aim to deliver deeper, earlier emissions reductions, help developing countries achieve and strengthen their nationally determined contributions (NDCs) under the Paris Agreement, and advance broader sustainable development goals, including expanded energy access and poverty alleviation. It will also generate new finance to strengthen adaptation efforts in vulnerable countries. Our 2024 workplan revolves around building a coalition of qualified private sector and sovereign government buyers, and countries who are interested in generating high integrity carbon credits representing verified greenhouse gas emissions. &nbsp;
&nbsp;
Our organizational values:&nbsp;We are ambitious and practical, advancing effective solutions that push the boundaries of the achievable. We are open-minded and inclusive, seeking out and considering a wide range of voices, views, and approaches. We are people-focused, dedicated to improving human well-being and recognizing that respect and empathy are central to success. We are one team, working collaboratively, communicating openly, making ourselves accessible to each other, and treating one another with kindness and respect.&nbsp;
