Our Approach & Our Actions

For 25 years, the ENERGIES 2050 network, and for more than 15 years its international and independent association, have been building connections across the globe to turn challenges into drivers of action and hope..

In more than 70 countries, we co-create with our partners concrete, innovative projects rooted in local realities, in service of a sustainable, just, and inclusive future.

October 2025: Our new website is now open. In the weeks and months ahead, it will be filled with stories, images, and testimonies that take you inside our past actions, current commitments, and future ambitions.

At the heart of our approach:
the systemic development

We see the world as a system where every element, environmental, social, economic, political, or cultural, interacts with the others. The challenges we face are multiple and interconnected, and require responses that are global, integrated, and coordinated.

Our systemic approach explores the granularity of situations and responses, from the global to the local, revealing an infinity of realities and solutions, like the pieces of an immense puzzle. This holistic perspective enables us to look beyond surface symptoms, identify root causes, and address them in a coherent and lasting way.

Adaptable and Replicable Solutions

Faced with diverse contexts, we act with agility and innovation. Each challenge overcome offers a bouquet of solutions: social, environmental, and economic innovations, that foster better living together in solidarity.

These “gems” are powerful levers for the climate, ecological, and civic transition, turning constraints into concrete and positive opportunities for action. Designed to meet the unique needs of each community, they are also intended to be transferable and inspire action in other contexts.

Active International Cooperation

Our global network and the support of our members are our greatest assets, enriching our actions with a remarkable diversity of experiences and approaches. We work with governments, businesses, local authorities, communities, and citizen networks to advance shared, concrete solutions. By working together, we strengthen solidarity and collective intelligence to address the environmental, social, and economic challenges our societies face.

Our actions

We organise our activities around four complementary pillars, each reinforcing the others to maximise our impact.

  • Acting in the Field

    We implement demonstrative, inclusive, and replicable projects worldwide, currently deployed in more than 70 countries.

    Designed with and for communities, especially the most vulnerable, these projects turn environmental, social, and economic challenges into opportunities for shared progress. They are supported by technical studies and research activities that demonstrate the transition is possible and that its benefits are tangible, both locally and globally.

  • Creating Knowledge

    Knowledge is a common good and a driver of transformation.

    We produce and share the results of our research, analyses, and best practices in formats accessible to all audiences. This broad and inclusive dissemination shares knowledge beyond expert circles, fuels debate and strengthens collective intelligence in facing environmental and climate challenges.

  • Transmitting

    Passing on knowledge and skills means giving everyone the means to act..

    We educate, train, and support individuals, communities, and institutions to help them understand, care, and take action. Our educational programmes, workshops, and training sessions strengthen the autonomy and capacity of every actor to contribute proactively and knowledgeably to a sustainable future.

  • Exchanging

    Exchange is a force that connects and drives progress.

    We organise and take part in meetings, forums, and conferences at local, national, and international levels, multiplying spaces for dialogue, fostering cooperation, and strengthening our networks, from grassroots communities to global partnerships. These exchanges build partnerships, break down silos, and stimulate the co-creation of concrete solutions for a sustainable and inclusive future.
