Germanwatch

Can a single organization make a difference in global issues? Here at 72 Stresemannstraße, Germanwatch proves that it can. Germanwatch, a non-profit NGO, tackles critical global challenges head-on. Founded in 1991, Germanwatch has become a powerful voice advocating for sustainable development. Their Berlin office, right here, plays a vital role in their mission. Germanwatch focuses on issues like climate change, corporate responsibility, and sustainable finance. They strive for a world where economic stability, social equity, and respect for nature coexist. Germanwatch’s approach involves observation, analysis, and action. They observe the impact of our economies and lifestyles on the planet, particularly in the Global South. They work closely with communities most affected by human rights violations and the climate crisis. Through rigorous analysis, Germanwatch develops policy recommendations and informs democratic dialogue. They engage with policymakers and business leaders, advocating for change at the highest levels. Germanwatch has published influential reports like the Climate Change Performance Index and the Global Climate Risk Index. These reports provide valuable data and analysis on climate change impacts and national climate policies. They also act as a strong advocate for a European Union that respects the rights and livelihoods of people worldwide. More than 30 years of advocacy and over 650 successful projects demonstrate Germanwatch’s commitment to building a sustainable future. Their work here in Berlin and in their Bonn office contributes to this vital mission. They champion sustainable and democratic digitalization, along with education for sustainable development. Germanwatch reminds us that global change requires collective action. Their tireless work inspires individuals, businesses, and governments to contribute to a more sustainable world.
