The Carnegie Climate Governance Initiative (C2G) addresses these challenges. For three years, C2G has engaged global decision-makers across governments, the UN, and civil society. They advocate for effective, inclusive governance of emerging climate technologies, urging proactive risk management and transparent global monitoring before events escalate.
