Aligning actors and actions toward energy abundance and a thriving planet
Constructive is an independent nonprofit reshaping how we collaborate to advance energy and climate solutions. We co-develop engagement platforms that convene private, public, and civic actors to solve critical problems and find concrete pathways forward.
About us →
Enabling effective collaboration
Constructive is not a think tank, consultancy, or advocacy group (though we partner with all three). We are execution-focused convenors. We focus on closing the gap between ideas, intentions, and on-the-ground delivery. We do this by creating high-trust engagements powered by world-class experience design, data-rich analysis, and professional facilitation.
In partnership with leaders and institutions across sectors, we co-develop and produce:
Flagship Events
High-impact, high-profile convenings that cultivate a connected and effective energy and climate ecosystem.
Sustained Dialogues
Ongoing, closed-door convenings that provide the structure for building common factbases and sustained momentum.
Engagement Platforms
Dialogues, events, analysis and storytelling woven together across the private sector, government, and broader ecosystem.
Relentlessly committed to outcomes, not just outputs
Constructive unlocks collaboration to urgently scale up solutions that:
Ensure access to affordable, reliable energy for all, no matter what’s going on in the world
Prepare us for AI, electrification, and manufacturing-driven energy demand growth
Drive down greenhouse gas pollution from energy, industry, transport, buildings and agriculture
Help communities adapt and thrive in a warmer, more dangerous climate

The U.S. Department of Energy’s Pathways to Commercial Liftoff reports were developed by the Office of Technology Commercialization (OTC), the Loan Programs Office (LPO), the Office of Clean Energy Demonstrations (OCED), and other DOE offices. Created with extensive input from the industry and finance sectors through workshops, dialogues, and interviews, these living documents explore the evolving state of play and pathways to “bankability” for various clean energy technologies.
