    Goals / Remit

    Agora Energiewende is a think tank that develops evidence-based and politically viable strategies to advance the goal of climate neutrality in Germany, Europe, and the rest of the world. We inform policymakers, economists, researchers, and civil society while encouraging a productive exchange of ideas. Our policy proposals are practical and free of prior ideological commitments. We are a non-profit organisation funded by foundations and public institutions and hence are beholden neither to business nor to politics. Our exclusive mission is to serve the climate.

    Main EU files targeted

    EU electricity market design, EU framework for renewable energies, EU climate protection policy, EU state aid framework for the environment and energy, European Green Deal, EU framework for a greenhouse gas-neutral industry, 2030 climate protection target
