Breakthrough is an independent think tank called the National Centre for Climate Restoration, based in Australia. They are at the forefront of the safe climate restoration movement, focusing on re-establishing natural climate processes to achieve global average temperatures and ocean acidity that are safe for all species and for civilization, similar to preindustrial levels. Their mission is to develop and promote strategy innovation and analysis necessary to deliver safe climate restoration.

Breakthrough's work spans various domains, including climate impact assessment, rapid emissions elimination, large-scale greenhouse gas drawdown, and innovation to prevent current and imminent harm. Their contributors and writers rely on peer-reviewed science to provide insightful commentary and analysis on high-end risk management issues and response pathways. Operating on a non-political party platform, Breakthrough publishes original communications, hosts thought-provoking events, and showcases innovative thinkers.

They are funded by private individual donations and grants where available, and their work is guided by an overarching framework encompassing ethics, science, economics, politics, and culture. To address the urgent need for action, Breakthrough advocates for emergency-scale and speedy measures to restore safe climate conditions
