Overview
A longtime grantee that plays a central role in promoting clean energy and climate goals in the United States and China, the Energy Foundation seeks to ensure a clean energy future by investing in ways to advance energy efficiency and renewable energy. The organization manages a portfolio of grants across a variety of sectors and geographic regions, including power, transportation, energy efficiency, buildings, climate, renewable energy, and, in China, urban design. Its work focuses on reducing public health and environmental damage associated with energy production and use, while mitigating the threat of global climate change.
U.S. goals. In 2013, the Energy Foundation will focus on building long-term support to ensure that clean energy and climate action are in the mainstream. To do so, it will diversify its portfolio in each sector to expand allies, implement strategic public engagement and communications strategies and engage conservatives to increase support in hard-to-reach regions.
China goals. Amid recent mounting public discussion and government attention on severe air pollution, particularly from the energy sector, in 2013, the Energy Foundation in China will focus on reducing the impact of coal use and reducing global warming and air pollution from non-coal sources. This is in addition to the work on the China Sustainable Cities Initiative.
