TTI Policy
We bridge the gap between private sector expertise and public sector impact policies
Expertise for Effective Policymaking
The TTI Policy Unit focuses on bridging the gap between private/public sector and science/practice to enable outcome-focused policy implementation across the big issues of our time.
We act as the connector and convenor to enable meaningful action by bringing together policymakers, investors, entrepreneurs and all relevant stakeholders to identify and facilitate practical ways to achieve net-zero.

Purpose, Process and Product
We face a global climate emergency. To address this, many countries around the world have committed to achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. This requires every single sector to work together. Too often, policymakers are viewed as being separate and with different priorities to wider stakeholders such as investors, entrepreneurs and professionals.
For policy to create optimal conditions for all relevant stakeholders to thrive in developing practical ways to achieve net-zero, the silos must come down. All stakeholders must understand better the challenges policymakers face, and how policymaking works in practice from respective nation-states to global governance.
We convene and connect through not-for-attribution, invitation-only, consensus-building policy conferences, where a representative cross-section of stakeholders is facilitated to develop evidence-based action steps to achieve net-zero. Out of each consensus conference, a report is produced that summarises the agreed learnings and actionable next steps for all stakeholders. To ensure the ideas are disseminated using a targeted and tailored approach, briefings are held with key decision-makers, and appropriate media strategies are determined to bolster public support of policy and stakeholder efforts.

Our Facilitated Format to Reach Consensus
In each of our global virtual gatherings, we choose a topic of systemic relevance and we invite leading scientists with a range of different opinions to put together a 3-page position paper with their views of the current realities, opportunities, challenges, funding needs and actionable policy recommendations on the matter. We then divide all our participants into moderated caucus groups, where they focus on building consensus statements and concrete steps forward. Once consensus is reached and the results are shared, our team brings it all together into a white paper that we share with broader industry stakeholders.
For the position papers of our gatherings, we make sure to select a panel of experts that represents a diverse range of opinions, so that we cover both pros and cons of the matter at hand.
