Global Optimism was co-founded in 2016 by Christiana Figueres and Tom Rivett-Carnac upon leaving the UN, having overseen the delivery of the landmark Paris Agreement. Global Optimism’s mission is to ensure that by 2030 we all - business, civil society, government and citizens around the world - will have taken necessary and decisive action to restore and regenerate the web of life.

Global Optimism Impact, our media, campaigns and impact unit, which houses our weekly climate podcast Outrage + Optimism, the nascent Groundswell 2.0 campaign and a programme of global retreats for the climate community.
