ECCO was founded with the aim of providing support to politics, institutions, the economy, society and the media in the complex task of implementing the green transition in the time and volume dictated by science. ECCO offers an independent space to advance the public interest with disentangled from private interests. Reporting on our activity for 2023 is an opportunity to look back over what drove us to establish ECCO in 2021.

With the Paris Agreement and the launching of the European Green Deal, decarbonisation has become a determining factor of many aspects of contemporary life. The subject of climate is now tied to important processes concerning international relations, financial reforms, industrial and social innovation, the transformation of consumption and the ability to adapt and foster resilience in order to respond to increasing climate impacts at the global level. The climate crisis therefore demands responses not only to specific climate goals, but also to social, economic and international challenges as a whole.
