Overview
The Berlin Platform for a New Economic Paradigm aims to challenge the dominant narrative of how economies work and to develop a new policy framework for addressing waning economic dynamism, rising inequality, financial instability, and climate change. For 40 years, policy has been driven by an exaggerated faith in the efficiency and fairness of markets. Too often, policymakers have ignored historical lessons and contemporary evidence of the role government plays in bringing about favorable economic results and in preventing powerful interests from gaming the system. This has contributed to increasingly unbalanced economic outcomes, disaffection with politics, and rising populism. The grant will enable the platform to conduct a program of research on Germany

Grants to this Grantee
for general operating support
The European Climate Foundation was established in early 2008 as a major philanthropic initiative to help Europe foster the development of a low-carbon society and play an even stronger international leadership role in mitigating climate change. It advances policy in the areas of energy, transportation, buildings, low-carbon finance, industry, and energy efficiency. The organization works to develop policy at the local, national, and European Union level, while also supporting international efforts to mitigate carbon emissions through the United Nations and G20.

for the Climate Finance Fund
The European Climate Foundation’s Climate Finance Fund (CFF) is a philanthropic platform that helps to mobilize capital for climate solutions. CFF focuses on China, the European Union, and the United States, and on capital allocators across the supply chain: consumers, small and medium-sized enterprises, large nonfinancial corporations, and banks and asset managers. CFF also provides expertise to market rule makers, like financial regulators, on climate and clean energy finance. There are two pillars of the work, both with a diversity, equity, and inclusion lens: innovative finance and the systemic decarbonization of capital. (Substrategy: Climate Finance)
