This grant supported the European Climate Foundation’s efforts in facilitating the Climate Action gathering space ("Green Zone") for civil society and non-state actors at COP25 in Madrid, as well as provide support for communications staff. The Green Zone is designed as an open space for dialogue and exchange between academia, scientists, NGOs, the private sector, youth, children, indigenous peoples, and more, to discuss contributions to a carbon neutral and climate resilient planet by 2050. The Green Zone had over 300 activities, including workshops and debates, with a particular focus on youth.

The European Climate Foundation (ECF) helps Europe foster the development of a low-carbon society and play an international leadership role in mitigating climate change. ECF seeks to accomplish two goals under this program: (a) accelerate changes to the way private capital is allocated in Europe towards climate change mitigation investments and (b) support strategic communications around the decarbonization of bank lending portfolios.
for the Global Strategic Communications Council's digital capacity and organizational effectiveness
The European Climate Foundation’s Global Strategic Communications program supports a range of advocates and communications efforts promoting climate change and clean energy solutions globally through traditional and new media outreach. This grant will enable the program and network to better use social and digital media to share news and information on climate change to key audiences. It will enable them to hire digital staff and create visual, compelling content for digital and social media channels. The grant will also enable the program to conduct organizational management planning in the coming year.
