CLIMATE & ENERGY DIPLOMACY HUB

A Subsidiary of Renaissance94
Atlanta × Johannesburg | Launching 2026

The Climate & Energy Diplomacy Hub is the non-state diplomatic arm of Renaissance94, created to advance energy equity, climate justice, and global leadership for the next environmental century.

Operating as a permanent, non-state diplomatic institution, the Hub convenes governments, cities, industry, family offices, scientists, and communities to build leadership, negotiate solutions, and accelerate real-world climate and energy outcomes across the Global South and beyond.

This is not a think tank.
This is a civic diplomatic commons for global citizens shaping the future of the planet.

Why This Hub Exists

A New Table for Global Climate Leadership.

 

The Climate & Energy Diplomacy Hub is a global, non-state diplomatic institution preparing the leaders, systems, and partnerships required to advance energy equity and climate justice for the next environmental century.

For decades, global climate and energy decisions have been shaped largely by government and industry. Yet the communities and rising leaders who will live longest with the consequences have too often been absent from the tables where those decisions are made.

The Climate & Energy Diplomacy Hub exists to change that.

We believe the next environmental century must be shaped by:

  • The next generation of global leaders

  • Frontline and underserved communities

  • Engineers, scientists, and regulators

  • Long-term capital partners and family offices

  • Cities, utilities, and public institutions

  • The Global South and the diaspora

Our work ensures that solutions are not only deployed — but governed, sustained, and owned by the people they impact.

Global Vision

By 2030, the Climate & Energy Diplomacy Hub will serve as the founding model of a global network of diplomacy centers — one on every continent — supporting the next generation of environmental leadership.

Atlanta and Johannesburg serve as the first dual anchors of this global platform.

What We Do

The Hub operates at the intersection of diplomacy, leadership development, energy systems, and climate justice. Our work focuses on five core areas:

  • Climate & Energy Diplomacy — Non-state diplomacy that convenes public and private leaders across borders to accelerate cooperation and solutions.

  • Leadership & Workforce Development — Preparing the next generation of climate, energy, and governance leaders.

  • Energy Access & Just Transition — Expanding electricity access, strengthening resilience, and protecting vulnerable communities.

  • Climate Intelligence & Innovation — Advancing climate data, early-warning systems, and resilient infrastructure planning.

  • Culture, Storytelling & Public Engagement — Shaping global narrative and broad public understanding of climate and energy solutions.

Our initial physical hubs are based in Atlanta, Georgia (USA) and Johannesburg, South Africa, with full virtual global engagement.
