LCAW 2026: Climate cooperation in a fragmented world
Nick Mabey writes: “Despite talk of a “rupture” in the geopolitical order, the growth of new leadership and alliances for climate action will be powerfully demonstrated at LCAW by the presence of five COP Presidencies – past, present and future – alongside ministers from around the world and city and subnational leaders, including major delegations from the US.”
Geopolitics and climate cooperation for a world in flux
For much of the past decade, climate policy operated under a relatively stable assumption that geopolitics would fundamentally help – or at least not derail – the trajectory of collective action. We are now witnessing a structural shift where geopolitics is not only shaping the pace of transition but redefining the terms of cooperation itself.
E3G's work intersecting politics, policy, and implementation, backed by powerful research, is distinctive and fulfilling, made possible by brilliant colleagues, networks, and partners.
E3G is dedicated to making necessary political changes possible. Getting wealthy countries on track to phase out coal by 2030 is a prime example of this.
