ACE Global

Bringing Our Proven Programs to a Global Scale

Climate progress in the US is essential as one of the world’s top emitters–though focusing on the US alone is simply not enough to halt the climate emergency. ACE is a long-time admitted NGO member of the UNFCCC, participated in the Paris Climate Agreement ratification, and brought delegations of US youth to COP events and UN Climate Week mobilizations for the past decade. We seek to build youth power in the climate movement globally by connecting US and international youth at these and other critical movement moments around the world.
Global, Top - SIZED

In a pilot program, we have scaled our award-winning climate education program, translating the resources into Kannada and Hindi to educate and engage millions of students in India. ACE is also launching a parallel global media venture to (1) expedite the demise of fossil fuels; (2) accelerate decarbonization across energy, industry and transport; and (3) directly resource local groups with training, direct funding investment, and a tightly coordinated global network of partners implementing a co-created strategy in key geographies.

SOUTH AFRICA

South Africa, heavily reliant on coal and one of the top 20 carbon emitters globally, has set ambitious emission reduction targets through the Just Energy Transition Partnership (JETP), aiming to phase out coal-fired power plants by 2050. These commitments present an opportunity for South Africa to be a leader in the region in decarbonizing and addressing energy challenges through the clean energy transition.

ACE’s work supports momentum towards the JETP through a localized approach that will amplify the efforts of on-the-ground organizations in solar and wind power and popularize green jobs.

Campaign Highlights

South Africa grapples with energy insecurity, specifically load shedding that results in power outages. South Africa’s continued reliance on coal powered plants plague the power utility’s ability to provide electricity reliably.

ACE launched a campaign with South African content creators to inform and inspire South Africans about the benefits of switching to solar power, Creators helped their audiences to imagine a future where South Africans no longer have to worry about load shedding by switching to solar sources, so that they can take back power—literally!

BRAZIL

Brazil remains a top global greenhouse gas emitter, while having the potential to pave the way for decarbonization.

We cannot secure the reductions in emissions needed globally without Brazil.

ACE seeks to leverage our proven digital media tactics to accelerate Brazil’s shift toward clean energy, taking advantage of all its abundant resources and inspire national pride.

Our goal is to accelerate of decarbonization, across industry and transport, advance the renewable energy sector, as well as promoting the benefits of clean energy jobs.

Campaign Highlights

We successfully launched our first campaign on the ground: Brazil Global Power (#BrasilPotênciaGlobal) to promote offshore wind energy and green hydrogen in Brazil.

We reached nearly 1.3 million Brazilians educating the public about the enormous potential for underutilized clean energy sources in the country including offshore wind energy and green hydrogen. The campaign demonstrated that Brazil can become a global power–both, paving the way toward a just clean energy transition and, generating jobs and improving the economy.

In parallel, we created Day-in-the-Life videos featuring Brazilian professionals in clean energy sharing the benefits of working in the sector including a rewarding career and economic benefits to the local community as a whole.

In the wake of the climate disaster that hit the southern region of Brazil in 2024, we promoted ACE’s educational videos to 2.18 M Brazilians connecting the dots between climate change and extreme weather.

We are also building our ecosystem of Brazilian partners, searching for aligned organizations that can benefit from our funds, large digital network, robust communications infrastructure, and innovative digital strategies. If you are interested and want to learn more, please fill out the form and we will be happy to reach out.

The United Kingdom

Ranked sixth in the world for solar and wind power generation, the United Kingdom shows massive potential as a renewable energy leader. With 40%+ of all energy used in the UK coming from renewable sources, ACE’s goal in the United Kingdom is to ensure that the country’s full clean energy potential is leveraged by socializing and popularizing the clean energy transition.

Working with in-country partners, our work in the UK primarily seeks to address the ‘blockers’ who are resistant to renewable energy. Our goals are to close the green skills gap, remove the social license of the fossil fuel industry and raise awareness of the harms of the industry to the public.

Campaign Highlights

With the majority of the UK believing the cost of living to be the single largest issue they face right now, a major talking point for the future of the energy sector is the so-called ‘economic risk’ of the energy transition.

Despite this growing conversation, the number of jobs being created in the renewable energy industry is growing four times faster than the overall UK employment market, and the sector is already more economical than traditional fossil fuels.

The #RenewableFuturesUK campaign seeks to set the record straight by demonstrating the renewable energy industry in the UK as a key player in driving economic growth for the country, as well as driving interest for careers in the sector amongst key demographics.
