The Progress Playbook is a digital publication focused on the countries, cities, and organisations that are leading the way in climate action and sustainable development. As a solutions-focused journal, we scour the globe in search of the policies and projects that are driving real progress in clean energy, sustainable cities, circularity, sustainable transport, and electrification. In doing so, we’re creating blueprints for policymakers and business leaders to follow.
