for general operating support
The Breakthrough Institute’s work is focused on three key areas: researching practical pathways to deep decarbonization, convening an ideologically diverse community of stakeholders committed to advancing technological solutions to climate change and other global environmental challenges, and building networks capable of overcoming the deep ideological polarization that has paralyzed climate and clean energy policy-making for the last several decades.
