The Austin-San Antonio region in South Central Texas has been chosen as the next hub for the Climate Resilient Communities Accelerator by C2ES, focusing on extreme heat, wildfire, and flooding. The goal is to drive investment, improve public health and safety, and advance solutions with co-benefits for water affordability. Over the next two years, the Accelerator will collaborate with regional partners to create an action roadmap and identify federal policy priorities for long-term climate investments.

COP30 and the Just Clean Energy Transition
The COP30 climate conference in Belém, Brazil highlighted efforts to implement the Paris Agreement by transitioning from coal to clean energy in developing countries. The Kinetic Coalition, led by C2ES, is driving investment in clean energy systems in emerging economies through energy transition credits, with a focus on affordable, reliable, and secure electricity to meet Paris Agreement goals. The Final Report of the Transition Credits Coalition (TRACTION), led by MAS, aims to establish integrity and demand for energy transition credits, emphasizing a just transition for coal plant workers and communities. The partnership with The Rockefeller Foundation and the signing of a Statement of Support for Energy Transition Credits by various sectors demonstrate a commitment to advancing energy prosperity and accelerating the clean energy transition.
