FEATURED CLIENTS
Christensen Global is lending our expertise to help our clients to scale climate solutions by guiding net zero strategy, stakeholder engagement and sharing a network deep, wide and strong, we are partners for the decisive decade. From innovators in food systems, building technologies and fin tech to some of the largest organizations in the world, we focus where it matters.
Christensen Global is collaborating with the Mastercard Foundation’s Center for Inclusive Growth to leverage our expertise and network, to conduct research to advance climate-smart inclusive growth for small businesses, particularly those in emerging economies, through greater resilience through climate mitigation and adaptation to climate impacts.
The Mastercard Impact Fund has undertaken research and funded research, convenings and projects at the intersection of climate change and inclusive growth, as climate change adverse impacts are often most acutely felt by those traditionally economically disadvantaged.
Christensen Global is conducting stakeholder interviews that will contribute to a gap analysis and guide our production of a blueprint for action aimed at engaging and creating opportunity for small businesses in the face of a changing climate.
Christensen Global is partnering to support the goals of the Mobile Bay National Estuary Program (MBNEP) to advance resilience in coastal Alabama and with opportunities for sustainable and equitable economic development. MBNEP, a division of the Dauphin Island Sea Lab, Alabama's Marine Research and Education Center, is part of the EPA Estuaries and National Estuary Program (NEP), a unique and voluntary program established in 1987 under the Clean Water Act Amendments. Using an ecosystem-based management program, NEP works to restore and maintain the water quality and ecological integrity of estuaries of national significance.
Our role is to work with MBNEP to identify environmental, economic, and social risks that we can mitigate and new opportunities, especially for ports, to benefit the coastal Alabama region and beyond. We’re doing this by conducting research, convening experts and leaders, and identifying strategic approaches to advance sustainable, equitable, and resilient growth to attract new, aligned investment and industries to the region.
Since April 2023, Christensen Global has collaborated with The Russell Family Foundation (TRFF) to advance its impact through its Catalytic Climate Finance initiative and philanthropic leadership to achieve net zero by 2030 for all assets and reduce greenhouse gas emissions across investments, consistent with the Paris Agreement. We leveraged the Sun Valley Forum to advance the foundation’s goals, convening subject matter experts in a Multiplier Effect session to refine the key strategic components for catalytic climate implementation.
To inform TRFF’s Catalytic Climate Finance initiative, we conducted desk as well as primary
qualitative research through internal TRFF-affiliated interviews and external interviews and desk research of experts, financial advisers, managers, and leading TRFF peer organizations McConnell Foundation, the McKnight Foundation, the Rockefeller Brothers Fund and Sierra Club Foundation.
To help develop and implement the strategic communication and engagement for the Foundation’s catalytic climate finance initiative, we managed a communications RFP process that selected Climate Advisers, a firm with deep climate finance expertise to collaborate with to advance TRFF’s goals.
