European Climate Foundation (HQ)

The European Climate Foundation, or the ECF, is an independent philanthropic initiative working to help tackle the climate crisis by fostering the development of a net zero emissions society

at the national, European and global level. Its aim is to promote climate and energy policies that press Europe and other key global players to achieve a net zero greenhouse gas emissions

society by 2050. The ECF also works to ensure Europe plays a front-runner role in demonstrating that the pathway towards this society is fair, achievable and desirable.

As a foundation, the ECF’s main operations are guided by grant making activities, which are strategically distributed among, and implemented by a wide range of organisations engaged in

many different types of charitable activities to mitigate climate change. These range from research work to advocacy or public campaigning.
