We are making the necessary possible. E3G is an independent climate change think tank with a global outlook. Our goal is to translate climate politics, economics and policies into action. We work on the frontier of the climate landscape tackling the barriers and advancing the solutions to a safe climate. More about our mission of a safe climate for all.
E3G has offices in four key political centres – London, Brussels, Berlin and Washington DC – and a global network of Associates in target countries around the world. Our wider E3G ecosystem of international coalitions enables us to scale up and coordinate climate action. Find out more about our international approach.
We build and host 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 to design and share practical institutional solutions. Find out more about our coalition building work.
We analyse the state of climate politics within countries, major institutions and economic sectors to identify the ripest areas for change. Our insights and scorecards help set political agendas and inform decision makers. We produce scenario analysis of critical climate action, identifying the risks and opportunities to make a difference. More about our data and insights.
E3G maintains full independence in all its activities. We are funded by a mix of foundations, government bodies and NGOs and we are grateful to our funders for allowing us to conduct our ground breaking work. See our funders. More about our governance.
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. More about our mission.
