Future Matters: Grantee Spotlight

The Giving Green Fund plans to award a restricted grant to Future Matters for its climate program, which works on identifying and advocating for impactful EU climate policy opportunities. Future Matters is a policy think tank headquartered in Berlin, Germany, that provides research-backed strategies for addressing global risks.

We primarily assessed Future Matters for its work within our philanthropic strategy of reducing food sector emissions because it prioritizes two of our recommended sub-strategies: alternative protein policy advocacy and pricing agricultural emissions.  Please see Giving Green’s deep dive report on food sector emissions for more information, including risks and potential co-benefits, recommended sub-strategies, theory of change, funding need, and key uncertainties. Aside from food sector emissions, the project also seeks to implement EU policies that increase climate finance for lower and middle-income countries, reduce heavy industry emissions, and increase methane abatement.
