Climate Neutrality Foundation
The Foundation for Climate Neutrality develops science-based strategies for a climate-neutral future and promotes dialogue between politics, business, and society – independent, non-profit, and solution-oriented.
In its work, the Foundation for Climate Neutrality operates independently and is politically neutral.
Information about the Foundation
Establishment
The foundation was established to develop cross-sector strategies for a climate-friendly Germany in close cooperation with other think tanks. Based on sound research, it aims to inform, advise, and stimulate public debate.
Reduction of Emissions
The foundation is also dedicated to reducing greenhouse gas emissions that do not directly result from energy use—particularly in the sectors of agriculture, industry, and waste management. These emissions should be avoided as far as possible or offset through so-called negative emissions.
Focus
The substantive work of the Climate Neutrality Foundation concentrates on three central thematic areas. These encompass industrial policy issues related to the transformation, the social impacts of climate policy measures on private households, and questions concerning the public financing and realization of infrastructure.
Funding
The Climate Neutrality Foundation is supported by the non-profit, U.S.-based Climate Imperative Foundation and the British Children's Investment Fund Foundation (CIFF). The Climate Imperative Foundation funds highly relevant climate protection activities worldwide and is managed by Energy Innovation. CIFF works to improve children's living conditions in the long term and to advance sustainability goals through impact-oriented investments.
