Change Agents for Sustainable Development

 

Coalitions
Achieving targeted outcomes

Too often discussions on sustainable development focus on what needs to be done, rather than how this can be achieved. Delivering change always requires the alignment of support from many groups – government, business, science, the media and others. E3G’s core skill is in assembling new coalitions and networks to turn the possible into the actual.

What we offer

E3G’s coalition building and political animation activities are built on a strategic understanding informed by our unique 'insider-outsider' perspective. Our international expertise and engagement in on-going relationships enable us to identify critical strategic change interventions. We then engage the right people at the right time, in the right context with the right choices, so as to achieve successful outcomes.

Examples of E3G Coalitions

  • During 2007 E3G is working with Chatham House and other stakeholders to build an EU-China partnership to discuss energy and climate interdependence issues.
  • E3G built a strong insider-outsider coalition in Europe to promote an ambitious set of commitments on Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) at the March 2007 European Council. The Council Conclusions agreed that Europe will build 12-14 CCS demonstration plants by 2015, and would aim to have CCS deployed as standard by 2020.
  • During 2005 E3G was closely involved in the informal diplomacy that led to the agreement between the EU and China to build an advanced coal demonstration plant with carbon capture and storage in China.
  • In 2004, E3G built a network of public officials, political leaders, professional advisers and non-government activists in five countries to help broker agreement between Russia and the EU over ratification of the Kyoto Protocol.
