Introduction

Solutions for Our Climate (SFOC) is an independent policy research and advocacy group that aims to make emissions trajectories across Asia compatible with the Paris Agreement 1.5°C warming target. SFOC is led by legal, economic, financial, and environmental experts with experience in energy and climate policy.

Since its founding in 2016, SFOC has led strategic campaigns on coal power phase-out, renewables, and climate finance.
