2016 annual report: Embracing tipping points

Our 2016 Annual Report captures a few of the highlights of a busy year for the European Climate Foundation and our strong network of partners.

2016 was a year of challenges and change. Together with our partners, we worked hard to follow up on the success of the Paris Agreement and to ensure that Europe continued to play a leading role in turning the commitments of Paris into action. Paris was just the first step in the global response to climate change; now, Europe and its leaders have the opportunity to create an inspiring vision for the deep changes that will be needed at every level of society to avoid the worst consequences of global warming. At a time of political uncertainty and populism, tackling climate change and creating a sustainable energy system has become a vital political project for Europe, and our work together reflects that reality.
