E3G, Third Generation Environmentalism has one of the planet’s most influential and experienced teams of climate change activists in Copenhagen.
Specialising in the politics of climate change, they have played a key role over the past two years brokering stronger alignment between governments, business and NGOs on core issues such as the 20C goal, the need to complete a treaty by June 2010, the inclusion of bunker fuels, the technology transition and climate security.
With offices in London, Brussels, Beijing and Washington, E3G has mobilised its extensive networks of leaders within government, business and the NGO community to tunnel through geographic, institutional and political barriers to promote a high ambition outcome from Copenhagen.
As the fog of war thickens during this crucial week E3G will have a team of eight exceptionally well connected people monitoring and shaping events and available for background briefing and on the record comment.
