From cars to food, most elements of society rely on energy that comes from coal, oil, and natural gas. Burning fossil fuels releases harmful emissions causing our climate to change at unprecedented speed.

More severe and more frequent weather events are already happening, contributing to poverty, displacement, hunger and conflict. A rapid transition towards clean energy such as solar and wind is vital to avoid runaway climate change.

Chatham House is built on big ideas. Help us imagine a better world.

Our researchers develop positive solutions to global challenges, working with governments, charities, businesses and society to build a better future.

SNF CoLab is our project supported by the Stavros Niarchos Foundation (SNF) to share our ideas in experimental, collaborative ways – and to learn about designing a better future.
