Overview
The Energy Transition Accelerator (ETA) strives to curb global warming by catalyzing private investment in holistic energy transition strategies via innovative jurisdictional-scale carbon credits. This approach directly compensates developing countries for verified emissions reductions.
The ETA mobilizes new finance by forming a coalition of companies and institutions committed to paying for verified power sector emission reductions through high-integrity carbon credits.
Why it matters
High-integrity carbon credits are part of how we transform our energy system and reduce emissions. We know we have to act with urgency. There are stark differences between a world that warms at 3 degrees celsius and one that warms by 1.5 degrees.
