Overview
The Forum New Economy, housed at the European Climate Foundation, is a Berlin-based nonpartisan platform launched in 2019 with the aim to accelerate the emergence of a new paradigm that leads to economically, socially, and ecologically more sustainable prosperity. The forum brings new economic thinking into the public debate in Germany and promotes and disseminates targeted research that applies innovative approaches to current policy debates around today’s major challenges, such as inequality, financial instability, and climate change. It builds bridges by bringing together leading economists and academics, decision makers and policy advisors at regular events in Berlin. This grant aims to help the forum succeed in its second phase, in which the institution will concentrate on major open challenges (e.g., how to durably reduce wealth inequalities or define a broader modern climate policy); progressively extend the range of stakeholders and audiences; and strengthen its in-house research and policy capacities.

Grants to this Grantee
for accelerating climate ambition through nationally determined contributions
The European Climate Foundation is working to unlock a new era of ambitious climate action by promoting transformative nationally determined contributions (NDCs) at the Conference of Parties in Brazil (COP30). The foundation’s International Climate Politics Hub will engage at national, European, and international levels to create the conditions for the delivery of stronger NDCs.
for the 2050 Pathways Platform
The 2050 Pathways Platform was launched in 2016 following the adoption of the Paris Agreement and its call for countries to elaborate long-term, low-emissions development strategies. Hosted by the European Climate Foundation, the Pathways Platform aims to initiate a deeper dialogue on “macroeconomic just transition,” ultimately building greater accountability of countries’ net-zero commitments.
for general operating support
The European Climate Foundation (ECF) 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. ECF 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. It also supports international efforts to mitigate carbon emissions through the United Nations and G20.
