What do we support?

We support work that can reduce the speed and impact of climate change including energy efficiency and renewable energy technology, aviation and transport policy, and the wide ranging benefits of sustainable agriculture. In the area of climate change and sustainable energy, we aim to take a broad approach supporting research, practical action, awareness-raising, education and organisations that aim to influence policy in the field.
