electricity, Climate Group identifies gaps where progress is stalled. These serve as foundations for policy lobbying in complex markets, for example in countries such as South Korea, Japan, South Africa and parts of Europe.
Helen says:“ We have a theory of change at Climate Group that’ s based on systems change: we apply that to key systems like heavy transport, industry, renewable energy and we’ re starting to work on food.”
This theory has shaped the organisation’ s practical, scalable model for impact, connecting diverse players including CEOs, CFOs and CSOs to drive broad changes and measurable outcomes. Helen is based in London, where Climate Group’ s main headquarters sit. With offices in Amsterdam, New York, New Delhi and Beijing, the organisation’ s reach is extensive and its influence localised – for example, partnering with organisations in South Korea to improve corporate market access to renewables.
“ It’ s not just about showing up from London with policies to impose. We work with local organisations, refining policy work around what’ s really needed in specific countries,” Helen explains.
