Europe

In mid-2022, international non-profit Climate Group opened a new European office based in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. The name of the non-profit Foundation (Stichting) is Climate Group Europe.

Climate Group is headquartered in London and it also has offices in Beijing, New Delhi and New York. Its mission is to drive climate action, fast, focusing on systems such as energy, transport, built environment, heavy industry and food.

Priorities

Over the past year, Climate Group Europe has established with a small core staff capacity. In the coming year, the priorities for the European team are to grow, and to expand Climate Group’s programmes on electric vehicles (EV100), renewable electricity (RE100), energy efficiency (EP100), steel (SteelZero) and concrete (ConcreteZero). The team is also building coalitions of business and subnational governments to target issues in the food supply chain. Within the Under2 Coalition, for which Climate Group is Secretariat, the European team look to work more extensively with key policymakers and leaders at the subnational level, with national governments and the EU to drive climate action.

Climate Group Europe aims to maximise the impacts of its work by delivering through partnerships, policy and research. The recently opened Europe office will allow for new opportunities to be created to quicken the pace for emissions reductions in the region.
