What FACET is about
The Forum for Atlantic Climate and Energy Talks serves as a dynamic transatlantic bridge for dialogue, insight, and collaboration on climate, energy, mobility, and sustainable development.
FACET is created by a large and diverse group of text authors, editors, and podcasters from both sides of the Atlantic; it is inspired by our readers whose interest in our work gets us out of the bed in the morning (and often late into it at night); and it is made possible by paid subscriptions and the support of individual and organizational partners. Thank you!
Our mission
Our mission is to amplify diverse voices and foster inclusive, positive, and aspirational dialogue between experts, policymakers, and communities in Europe and North America—proving that democratic decision-making and collective action can effectively address the climate crisis and advance sectoral and economic transformations which improve our societies and the lives of all citizens, leaving no one behind.

Our advisory board plays an essential role for ensuring FACET’s effectiveness and credibility. Board members serve for a 2-year term. They provide strategic advice and expert guidance for FACET’s management, focusing specifically on the alignment of activities with the Forum’s mission, values, and long-term objectives.
Board members provide feedback to the editorial board and serve as a sounding board for major decisions, helping to shape the overall strategic direction and the maintainance of high standards of quality, credibility, and relevance. They also support reputation-building and audience engagement by leveraging their experience and networks. Finally, they advise on major sectoral, academic, industry, and policy trends, offering constructive criticism and new perspectives without direct authority over management or staff.
