Low-Carbon Leaders Project

The Low-Carbon Leaders Project (LCLP), a collaboration between Caring for Climate and the World Wildlife Fund, is an open source, multi-media platform aimed at capturing and sharing transformative low-carbon solutions. LCLP has issued twelve illustrative cases and toolkits for calculating the impacts of energy efficient solutions; additionally LCLP has collected nearly 60 low-carbon solutions estimated to help avoid over 10 million tonnes of CO2 emissions.

Low-Carbon Leaders - Beyond Carbon

Phase two of the Low-Carbon Leaders project – Beyond Carbon – seeks to highlight innovative clusters that deliver solutions toward achieving sustainable development goals in the areas of food and water sustainability; mobility and communication; health; and temperature, light and shelter.  The project focuses on how such clusters can be created, how the uptake of transformative solutions can be accelerated and how the ongoing rapid urbanization can be used as a driver for such solutions.
