Europe is home to a significant number of CIFF’s climate investments. Across the region, CIFF-supported climate programmes are implemented under a variety of strategies, including cross-cutting targeted communications and air quality.

Throughout Europe, the European Climate Foundation (ECF) is seeking to strengthen climate leadership at every level, from supporting local campaigns to informing EU policy making. ECF is a network of hundreds of organisations devoted to solving the climate crisis from every angle. ECF helps set the agenda, innovate and strategise on a socially responsible transition to a net-zero emissions economy.

To effectively action CIFF’s air quality strategy, CIFF formally launched the Clean Air Fund at the United Nations General Assembly in September 2019. The Clean Air Fund is new philanthropic entity with an initial focus on air quality in the UK, India, and Eastern Europe, with the objective of increasing and implementing research, campaigning and policy change.
