Theory of change
The Argentina 1.5° Theory of Change is a living tool that guides our decisions, ties together our pillars of work and grounds how we connect scientific research with just socio-ecological transformation on the ground.
The emergency landscape
The global climate emergency demands a rapid just socio-ecological transition and multilevel climate governance, delivering effective responses from and for the territories. However, critical gaps persist: adaptation and loss and damage agendas remain marginal; mitigation and energy transition policies lack the necessary component of equity and justice; financial flows continue to fund fossil fuels; and the most vulnerable communities are not at the center of the responses.
If we generate evidence, connect stakeholders, strengthen capacities and influence public policy, we contribute to building the conditions for a more just, resilient and evidence-based climate transition.
Work areas
We work in 3 key areas that reinforce one another:
Adaptation & Loss and damage
Mitigation & Energy transition
Green & climate finance
Where all this work is headed
We aspire to contribute to a deep transformation of the region’s social, economic and environmental systems, driving climate action that creates more just, resilient and democratic societies, with people and communities at the center of decisions.
What we do
Knowledge
Climate diplomacy
Policy advocacy
Networking
Learning to transform
Our institutional work operates as a continuous cycle in which experience feeds back into new actions and strategies.
We generate evidence and knowledge.
To drive a just and resilient socio-ecological transition in Latin America and the Caribbean and across the world, where public climate policies are guided by scientific evidence, strengthen democratic governance and prioritize the well-being of the most vulnerable people and communities in the face of the climate emergency.
