How We Do It
We are guided by the Stockholm Resilience Centre's Planetary Boundaries, the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, Project Drawdown and the World Happiness Report and rigorously developed measurement tools, such as the Science-Based Targets Initiative, TCFD and SASB, and the Social Progress Index.
Competence
With a track record of global impact, Christensen Global has developed unparalleled breadth and depth of competence in building systemic solutions for critical global challenges. Aimée Christensen, founder and CEO of Christensen Global, has three decades in climate change and sustainable development policy, law, investment, philanthropy, and business. Christensen has shaped national and global climate strategies, mobilized resources, and catalyzed powerful connections to deliver meaningful impact. From negotiating the first ever bilateral agreement on climate change (U.S. - Costa Rica, 1994) to drafting and successfully gaining adoption of the first investment responsibility policy on climate change (Stanford University, 1999), the Christensen Global team has consistently been at the forefront of the leadership we need. We offer expertise in key areas including sustainable economic development, media and communications, impact investment, corporate strategy, stakeholder engagement, and deep sector knowledge of energy, food, and regenerative agriculture.
Curation
Christensen Global leverages the power of effective curation to catalyze powerful partnerships and advance specific challenges. With years of experience, we have learned how to gather the most impactful people and organizations to form unparalleled collaborations. We curate experts around global challenges and specific opportunities, connecting resources with deep knowledge, sparking new ideas, scaling successful strategies, and replicating initiatives locally and globally. From the World Climate Summit to the Sun Valley Forum, from the Clinton Global Initiative to the United Nations, Christensen Global has built gatherings that lead to results. When leaders in innovation, science, art, government, industry, and philanthropy come together, supported by inspiration and information, profound change can happen.
Connection
Christensen Global uses the power of strategic connections to accelerate impact, bringing to our projects a deep network of forward-thinking organizations and thought-leaders, aligning efforts to solve our greatest challenges. With decades working across sectors and continents, from Brazil to Bhutan, Geneva to New York, Boise to Brussels, San Francisco to Christchurch, Sun Valley to London, and The Hague to Washington, D.C., Christensen Global has high-level access to the world’s leading policymakers, financial and corporate leaders, media visionaries and artists, innovators and entrepreneurs, and philanthropists and nonprofit advocacy organizations.
Capital
Capital can power the growth of an equitable, secure, and regenerative world or it can increase inequality, fund destruction, and foment conflict. Trillions of dollars are being reallocated to restoration and resilience, with investors reaping rewards of financial returns, portfolio stability, and environmental and social outcomes. With Christensen Global, investors and philanthropists fund the solutions we need: technology innovations and natural and resilient infrastructure projects, policy entrepreneurs, digital and creative public activators, and place-based community developers and funds. We have worked in and continue to focus financial resources toward the top climate and restorative economy strategies including food systems, regenerative agriculture and soil health, the built environment, information technology, and energy. Smart capital drives profound change to build the world we need.
