About
We are a research and political action institute working to accelerate the ecological and energy transition, the decarbonisation of our economy and our daily lives, the mitigation of the worst effects of climate change, and a just and liberating adaptation to the planet’s new climate reality.
We work with a range of organisations —public institutions, political parties, trade unions, civil society groups, NGOs, cooperatives and renewable energy companies— to build a progressive project that, while accepting the diversity, differences and often irreconcilable contradictions between them, can make room for all of them and offer a common path towards a more democratic and climate-safe future.
The institute was founded in 2025 to help think through, plan and tangibly build a just, decarbonised future on a stable planet.
Against the fossil-fuelled or denialist right and far right, against the more paralysing projects that often permeate the progressive space, and against the tendency to relegate the climate crisis to a politically secondary role, we need to build a project that recognises both the danger of the moment we are living through and the possibilities for transformation and progress within our reach.
That is why we want to help establish shared climate principles for progressive organisations and actors, and to develop public policies that put them into practice and help them take root and flourish in every area of society.
We need to speed up the decarbonisation of our economy by accelerating the energy transition, electrifying our daily lives and deploying renewable infrastructure extensively across the country, both in large, ambitious projects —which would need only a small percentage of the land— and in community and local ones.
This process of decarbonisation and electrification, well advanced in some sectors and barely begun in others, must move as fast as possible. Many conflicts arise from this need and from putting it into practice. Our aim is that, without halting progress, they are resolved through determined public leadership and on the basis of cooperation, compensation and a deep democratisation of the economy.
Although the future may look like a dark promise today, it has always been, and always will be, in our hands to give it a different shape and meaning. Climate change also forces us to build a new world adapted to a different reality.
A renewed and powerful public drive to transform our infrastructure (electrifying everyday life, deploying renewables, public transport), our economy (shorter working hours, decarbonising work processes, green reindustrialisation, progressive taxation) and our society (climate-proofing buildings, healthy food, health security) is the best way we have today to build and guarantee that new world.
Climate change is no longer a future threat but the reality we live in, full of extreme weather, unpredictable forecasts and insecurity. This can lead to many social catastrophes, but coordination between public authorities and social and economic actors can also produce public policies that adapt our lives to the times we live in.
We need to adapt our social and economic priorities, our cities and towns, our territories and the way we organise our time to a different climate reality, and to do so with a fair distribution of costs and benefits.
The urgency of the climate crisis is already transforming —and if it isn’t, it should be— many of our political certainties and horizons. The progressive camp, which has been in clear and widespread retreat in recent decades, must regain the momentum to face the severity of the crisis head-on.
That does not mean closing ranks around identity, but openness, inclusiveness and dialogue between very different actors, even ones that seem irreconcilable. One of our aims is to help lay the foundations and open the channels for a fruitful and stable dialogue among everyone involved in the challenge of the ecological transition, at both national and local level.
We don’t only want to offer guiding principles to established organisations: we hope those principles grow into a climate project for the future in which all progressive people and their organisations can recognise themselves. A decarbonised, climate-safe future, with strong and well-cared-for public institutions, where survival on a hotter planet is guaranteed, and guaranteed with more happiness, equality and democracy.
