ABOUT USWe are making the necessary possible
E3G is an independent climate change think tank with a global outlook. We work on the frontier of the climate landscape tackling the barriers and advancing the solutions to a safe climate.
Our goal is to translate climate politics, economics and policies into action.
We build coalitions
We build broad-based coalitions to deliver a safe climate. We work closely with like-minded partners in government, politics, civil society, science, the media, public interest foundations and elsewhere.
We develop strategies
We do strategic thinking to identify the ripest areas for change. We produce scenario analysis of critical climate action, identifying the risks and opportunities to make a difference.
We produce insights
We analyse the state of climate politics within countries, major institutions and economic sectors. Our insights help set political agendas and inform decision makers.
We think outside the box
We design practical institutional solutions to deliver a safe climate. We work with our partners to implement transformational changes.
Our name
E3G stands for Third Generation Environmentalism.
The first generation of environmentalists focused on the conservation of species and habitats. The second generation widened the scope to include pollution and natural resources. The third generation of environmentalists is building on this success, working on solutions rather than problems.
As third generation environmentalists, we are turning arguments into answers.
OUR WORK
The world has run out of time to avoid dangerous climate change. Climate impacts are hitting earlier and harder around the globe. The barriers to achieving a climate-safe world are political and institutional, not financial or technological.
Our View
The next decade is critical for delivering climate safety. Transforming societies and economies will require using new strategies and capacities. While reports on solutions to climate change remain key to delivering climate safety, so does rapidly creating real solutions.
