Mission & Goals
Third Way is a national think tank based in Washington, D.C. Third Way’s Climate and Energy program launched its initiative Carbon-Free Europe (CFE) at COP26 to build international support for a technology-inclusive climate agenda and encourage governments to maximise the next decade to meet climate goals. CFE facilitates transatlantic collaboration in Brussels, EU Member States, the UK, and Washington, DC, on climate policy, innovation, and clean energy supply chains. CFE conducts research to ensure policymakers and the climate community have access to comprehensive, robust analyses to make evidence-based decisions on net-zero strategies. As part of this, we assess the risks and tradeoffs of different net-zero pathways annually to advise governments on credible trajectories to 2050.
