Overview
Transport & Environment (T&E) works toward a healthier climate and environment in the European Union. It plans to work with various environmental organizations — including Deutsche Umwelthilfe and Naturschutzbund Deutschland in Germany, Milieudefensie in the Netherlands, Legambiente in Italy, and Ecologistas en Acción in Spain — to build a more diverse, equitable, and inclusive (DEI) climate movement. T&E will support human resources policies to hire and train ethnically diverse staff, distribute research and survey findings on DEI in the E.U. climate movement, and raise awareness of DEI in the European environmental community.

Grants to this Grantee
for general operating support
Transport & Environment’s vision is a zero-emission mobility system in Europe that is affordable and has minimal impacts on health, climate, and environment. A federation headquartered in Brussels, T&E has members across Europe working to advance zero-emission transportation regulations. This general operating support grant will allow T&E to build capacity to manage its expanding portfolio, as well as invest in national offices. (Substrategy: Electrification)
for sustainable financing taxonomy
Transport decarbonization requires annual investment estimated between €685bn and €847bn in Europe. This grant will help ensure that the E.U. taxonomy on sustainable investments is congruent with the objective of a complete decarbonization of transport by 2050, and will enable a study of how to finance a transition to zero-emission vehicles in the E.U. company car fleet leasing system.
