Who We Are

The Decarbonization Experts Alliance (DEXAlliance) is an international network of economists, climate scientists, nature-based solutions experts, energy and industry specialists dedicated to accelerating the global transition toward a decarbonized, sustainable and climate-resilient future.

Mission

We bridge global knowledge and national/sectoral actions, supporting governments, industries, and communities in their transition toward sustainable, zero-carbon, and climate-resilient economies.

Our mission is to:

  • Provide independent, science and evidence-based expertise to inform climate policy and investment decisions.
  • Support national and sectoral decarbonization strategies in energy, transport, forestry, land use, and other sectors.
  • Promote innovative technologies and nature-based solutions for carbon reduction, sequestration, and storage.
  • Build capacity through training, knowledge-sharing, and international cooperation.

Vision

We envision a world where:

  • All countries and regions achieve net-zero or negative GHG emissions while ensuring economic prosperity and social equity.
  • Science-driven policy and practical solutions shape the green economy transition and sustainable transformation.
  • Cross-border collaboration accelerates the adoption of innovative technologies and sustainable practices.
  • Communities are empowered with the knowledge and tools to build climate resilience and protect ecosystems.

Long-Term Goals

To measure our progress, we aim to achieve by 2035:

  • 10+ national decarbonization pathways developed and adopted by governments.
  • 50+ sectoral studies in priority areas (energy, transport, AFOLU, bioeconomy).
  • 100+ experts trained annually through DEXAlliance's capacity-building programs.
  • Partnerships in 30+ countries to implement innovative carbon reduction and sequestration projects.

OUR MISSION

History & Background

The Decarbonization Experts Alliance was founded in France in 2025 as an initiative of a group of scientists and international experts who have been working on sustainability and deep decarbonization for over 25 years across different countries and regions.

 

Our members and experts bring expertise in sustainable development, green energy transition, environmental protection, pollution risk assessment and management, bioeconomy, forests and natural ecosystems, and other key areas of climate action. The creation of DEXAlliance was driven by the urgent need to strengthen international scientific collaboration in accelerating the global transition to a zero-emission economy as required by the UN Sustainable Development Goals and Paris Agreement.

Building on Strong Foundations

The Alliance builds on extensive previous experience and networks, including the Deep Decarbonization Pathways (DDP) initiative coordinated by the IDDRI Institute, which brought together more than 60 think tanks from over 30 countries. This foundation allows DEXAlliance to deliver global expertise while tailoring solutions to countries with diverse socio-economic contexts.

Our Three-Level Approach

Our approach operates at three interconnected levels:


  1. Global – Sharing and adapting best practices, methodologies, and lessons learned across regions.
  2. National/Regional – Supporting governments and institutions in creating robust, science-based decarbonization strategies.
  3. Sectoral – Combining advanced macro- and sectoral-level modeling with practical technical innovations and nature-based solutions implemented on the ground.

 

DEXAlliance is an open platform for international cooperation and knowledge sharing, enabling scientists, policymakers, and practitioners to work together toward a safer, sustainable, and zero-emission future.
