Training Programme Think Tanks Energy & Climate

Accelerating the transition to decarbonized power systems and industrial sectors is critical to achieving global climate neutrality. This is especially urgent in emerging and developing economies, where emissions are expected to grow significantly alongside economic development. Local think tanks and civil society actors are key to this shift but often lack skills and influence. Strengthening their role helps shape smarter policies and drive a fair, low-carbon transformation in power and industry. This project supports that by training professionals – with a special focus on women – from think tanks and civil society organisations in Latin America, Southeast Asia and beyond. They gain skills to develop practical, evidence-based solutions, shape public debate and support climate-friendly policies. Through regional partnerships, co-development and a global network, the project empowers local voices to drive change for a just and sustainable transformation.
