The global energy transition is underway — but it cannot succeed without the active participation of the very people it’s designed to serve: consumers. Our latest report, The Impact Initiative: Amplifying Consumer Voices in the Clean Energy Transition, reveals how everyday people are already mobilising to reshape energy systems—advocating, influencing policy, and leading community change from the ground up. Drawing on contributions from over 25 consumer organisations and case studies from Brazil to Germany to India, the report highlights the untapped power of collective action and the need to fund and scale grassroots efforts.
While 80% of global consumers support a shift to renewables, systemic change requires more than individual choices—it demands trust, local leadership, and strategic investment. This report provides a roadmap for funders and changemakers to support high-impact, consumer-led initiatives and ensure the energy transition is just, inclusive, and community-powered.
As 2024 comes to a close, we celebrate a year of progress powered by our global community. Together with our Members and select stakeholders, we tackled some of the biggest challenges consumers face today to ensure fairness, safety, and sustainability for consumers everywhere. From influencing global policies to tackling scams and advocating for sustainable lifestyles, here are the top ten highlights from the year.
