1. Count Us In

   As founding partners of Count Us In, our pioneering work has one simple, yet ambitious, aim — to inspire one billion people over the next decade to take action against climate change and reduce their carbon pollution. As a result, we want the globe to reach the formidable target of cutting emissions by 50%.

   We all know how important right now is in order to protect the planet and everyone around us, and our work helps people to make achievable, long-term changes. It includes the Stand Up: Take Action initiative, where we helped break a Guinness World Record for the largest number of people to take action on a single day across the world—273 million people.

   World-renowned organisations including TED, Leaders Quest, IKEA, Arsenal FC, HSBC, FIFA, NHS, C40, BT, WWF, Natura & Co, and the International Olympic Committee are also vital partners helping us in our pursuit of change. Individually we can all make a huge difference, together we can change the world.

Current Partnerships

1. Climate Justice, Economic Justice, Human Rights: Corporate Accountability Initiative

   Climate Justice, Economic Justice, Human Rights: Corporate Accountability Initiative

   We support the Corporate Campaigning Initiative, which focuses on ensuring businesses are a force for good. This initiative brings together people and organisations to strengthen corporate accountability and build a thriving future for all. Together, we’re ready to spark a movement and build a restorative future for the planet and people.

   That’s why we are working with Amnesty International, Oxfam, Global Witness, 350.org and Action Aid and others, to design an initiative focused on strengthening corporate accountability at the intersection of climate justice, economic justice and human rights. Together, we are working across sectors—where issues are most pronounced to lift up the voices of communities most affected by climate change, uncover the facts, and develop alliances to take action.

2. #ImagineTheFuture

   #ImagineTheFuture

   We urgently need a new direction to help humanity thrive—within the boundaries set by nature. #ImagineTheFuture is a collaborative campaign established by Mission 2020, that explores innovative ways to slash global emissions in half by 2030—an essential plan set out by the UN in order to honour and protect our world.

   Part of our crucial work in helping to drive this effort involves leading the development of an overall initiative to help chart the path forward in the decisive decade, crafting reports, designing workshops, and building an imaginarium that will bring together people from wide-ranging backgrounds and points of view to explore topics including the future of finance to the future of health. By working together, we can build a tomorrow that is healthier, fairer, and more prosperous than today.

Our work with the Global Recovery Collective involves doing everything we can to link leading climate, development, health, justice, and equality networks—new experimental partnerships can not only ask new questions, but they can offer new solutions.
