Climate Solutions: Pushing for a Clean Energy Economy

Climate Solutions, a non-profit organization based in the Northwest of the United States, prides itself on being a pioneer of a clean energy economy. Its dedicated men and women have cultivated the leadership and promoted the vision of clean energy and economic prosperity co-existing for the benefit of society.

Since its founding over 15 years ago, the organization has led and continues to lead successful initiatives in the delivery of policies, partnerships, and models for clean energy and climate change. Climate Solutions focuses its efforts on the acceleration of the effective and efficient transition from fossil fuel use to clean energy use that, in the process, contribute to a better environment.

With three offices, the Climate Solutions has built several winning coalitions in the pursuit of changes in policy regarding renewable energy, carbon reduction, and energy efficiency. The Northwest has proven to be a fertile ground for initiating meaningful changes in policy as well as in program and project implementation. The organization continues to play crucial roles as an active advocate and catalyst as well as campaign hub for its partners and stakeholders.

With its strategic partnerships with a wide range of entities ranging from non-profit organizations to national governments, Climate Solutions has built a powerful alliance for positive actions on climate and clean energy on the local, regional and national levels. Such is its effectiveness that Climate Solutions has been selected by Guidestar’s Philanthropedia as among the United States’ high-impact non-profits in the field of climate change in 2012 – the only regional Northwest organization on the list, too.

Climate Solutions has several programs including:

• New Energy Cities involving partnerships with small- and medium-sized communities toward substantial carbon reductions by 2030.
• Sustainable Advanced Fuels focuses on the acceleration of the use of low-carbon alternatives to petroleum fuels.
• Business Leaders for Climate Solutions has entrepreneurs, executives and investors on board, all of whom are committed to concrete actions in the reduction of global warming and pollution, among others.

With Climate Solutions, the Northwest is poised to become more progressive and developed yet more eco-friendly.
