Our grantee community OUR GRANTEE COMMUNITY time supporting a set of European grantees that help create the political support in Member States. With UNEP we are creating the Emissions Gap Report series, funding the secretariat and some of the essential scientific analysis that the report relies upon. On green growth we have initiated the Green Growth Best Practice project, a platform that will enable the sharing of best practice knowledge among practitioners on green growth planning. * ** Each ECF programme supports a community of grantees who are vital partners in our efforts. Our work together provides strategic input to policymaking processes across Europe, contributing to the overall goal of economy-wide decarbonisation. Although the ECF operates with a single mission, in order to coordinate the field of players to tackle very different topics, different grantee collaboration approaches are required. In the power sector, for example, the ECF and its partners convened a research and communications platform to create the Roadmap 2050 and Power Perspectives 2030 reports. Through this group effort we have reframed the energy debate in Europe and worked with industry and civil society to map the fundamental issues that need to be addressed for power sector decarbonisation. Meanwhile, the under-resourced energy efficiency community is challenged by a diverse and fragmented set of stakeholders on a largely invisible topic. Our Energy Efficiency programme, therefore, has focused on building technical and advocacy capacity and supporting alignment through new platforms and coalitions. In the transport sector, the ECF has concentrated funding at the EU level on influencing car fuel-efficiency standards that set the pace for innovation not just in Europe, but around the globe. The work of the Global Climate Policy team is multifaceted: on climate finance, we are working directly with EU governments while at the same Finally, our EU Climate Policies team incorporates themes from each of the other programmes at the Brussels and Member State levels, in particular by tackling structural policies and frameworks. Through work on long-term mitigation targets, financing, cap-and-trade, etc, this programme reinforces the work of the sectoral programmes. The ECF’s programmes work to complement one another, weaving together a consistent and well-resourced field that can help policymakers access the balanced argumentation, information, and constituencies they need for progressive climate policy development. We are grateful to our grantees for partnering with us in this endeavour and are proud of the impact we are achieving together. work with the ECF on a number of projects [..] We look forward to working with the ECF again to communicate the challenges but also the opportunities of moving towards a low carbon economy.” 3
