The Climate Action Accelerator is a new international non-profit initiative based in Geneva, with the aim of mobilizing a critical mass of intermediary organizations to scale up the implementation of climate solutions, keep global warming below 2°C and avoid the risk of dangerous runaway climate change. Partner of the UNFCCC's RACE TO ZERO campaign, the Initiative already includes 15 international aid and health organisations, including: Terre des hommes, the International Committee of the Red Cross and Doctors without Borders. By integrating them into a community of action, the initiative helps these organizations to reduce their own GHG emissions by at least half each decade. This effort is intended to contribute to a domino effect that encourages the exponential deployment of sustainable solutions throughout society.
