For 100% renewable energy worldwide
Influencing policy making through effective communication and lobbying.
Enlightening decision-makers
We develop advocacy strategies and specific messages to convert scientific facts into easy-to-understand materials to enlighten policy-makers.
Networking interest groups
We share information and connect stakeholders at all levels of governance with a focus on renewable energy, decarbonisation and just, sustainable development.
Guiding communication
Our team is successful in steering energy and development interests and communicating within various multilateral forums, parliaments and national discourses on a just energy transition.
Current projects
Policy Analysis for 100% Renewables
Policy analysis underpins our positive campaign work. By identifying exemplary policy solutions and working out transferable elements, we support political decision-makers in the development of future-oriented legislation. Our research covers a wide range of topics related to sustainable development, NDCs and energy. These include links between 100% renewable energy and the implementation of the SDGs, sustainability criteria for green hydrogen or the role of renewable energies in COVID-19 recovery packages.
Developing communication strategies for a just energy transition
Limiting global warming to 1.5°C and achieving a just energy transition requires robust policies backed by scientific data. In order to achieve this, it is important to covert scientific findings into communication material that is understandable for key decision-makers.
Strengthening communication
Building a global movement for 100% renewable energy requires strong communication and advocacy skills. Through partnerships with international networks such as the Climate Action Network (CAN), we strengthen the communication capacities of civil society in order to be able to clearly articulate energy needs and demand participation in decision-making processes.
