We believe in the power of a community

Our vision at LFCA is to contribute to an economic system in which sustainability, equity and prosperity are in a state of balance.

With 91% of global GDP covered by climate pledges, their implementation is now a major frontier of the fight against climate change. Unfortunately, progress remains far too slow.

We propose a new approach to bridge the intention-to-action gap. By combining open technology, peer learning and systems thinking, we enable those who lead to help those who are just getting started.

Our manifesto

We believe competition must give way to collaboration.

There is no winner unless we all cross the finish line together. Working as a collective is needed to take us from commitments to actions.

We believe there are no shortcuts.

No single solution or technology will get us to net-zero emissions on its own. We need more both/and and less either/or. We aim for meaningful longterm solutions (net zero) instead of short sighted quick wins (climate neutrality).

We believe in the primacy of direct action.

While measurement and disclosures are important, they do not impact the Earth directly. We need business to prioritize rapid emission cuts, new business models, and strong advocacy.
