Overview
This grant will support the European Climate Foundation’s Philanthropy Task Force. This was inspired by French President Emmanuel Macron to catalyze both private donors and development agencies to support climate mitigation in Southeast Asia, clean energy innovation, global clean air campaigns, and efforts to protect land-based carbon sinks. The second part of the grant will support ECF’s Global Strategic Climate Communications program. This grant will fund the GSCC’s core program and its India program. The key focus in this grant period is to create narratives of climate ambition at key moments throughout the year, both at international and national levels, in order to help turn sectors and governments from a simple commitment to the Paris Agreement to implementing its measures in earnest.

This grant will support the European Climate Foundation’s international strategic communications work, in an effort to promote informed and factual public discourse on the impacts of climate change and possible mitigation and solutions.

for promoting collaboration between China and Africa on resilient renewable energy value chains

It will focus on building stakeholder networks and improve policy alignments in targeted African countries, and seek to better leverage existing regional and international collaborations - particularly that with China - through investment, trade and diplomacy for a resilient and sustainable renewable energy supply chain.
