OUR STORY

Climate LinkUP started from a conversation in early 2021, between British and Norwegian colleagues who met many years ago at university.

Both with 30 year global careers and worldwide professional networks, but with different complementary areas of climate expertise (Environment and Renewable Energy), we discussed the barriers slowing down the speed of global climate action delivery and the inequalities we witness between nations. It was apparent that we shared the same view – climate targets across the globe can only be achieved equitably through genuine and active collaboration between all stakeholders: scientists, industry experts, sustainable policy-makers and local communities across climate sectors and countries.

We were in agreement that the urgency of the interconnected Climate and Nature Emergencies now required personal bold, committed and decisive action. Climate LinkUP was born – to help accelerate the speed of climate and nature action delivery globally, by bringing together critical skills, knowledge and financial investment from different sectors and geographical regions.

Since the global climate and nature crises are fundamentally interconnected with common shared human drivers, our complementary backgrounds in Environment and Renewable Energy reinforced our view that an integrated and coupled approach to solutions is now required. Neither will be successfully resolved unless both are tackled together.
