Green Alliance is the UK’s leading environmental think tank, working to secure the political leadership and action needed to address the climate and nature crises.

Our strategy 2025-30 is focused on strengthening the political mandate, at a time when the consensus around action is at risk. While we understand political and policy realities, we never lose sight of the need for higher ambition.

A non-partisan, cross party approach is at the heart of our work. The combination of our research, policy and analytical expertise gives us the credibility to lead political engagement. Working in alliance with a wide range of senior voices across sectors helps us to amplify impact.

We expect the period to 2030 to be volatile and aim to increase our capacity to react rapidly and change course when needed. Internally, we are focused on faster decision making, leaner organisational infrastructure, more effective communication and continuous impact monitoring. Throughout our work over the next five years, we will be targeting fair, people-focused solutions that will make action on climate and nature politically possible.
