Our 30 years of experience on the ground has been marked with active collaborations with civil society, academia, governments, institutions, and industries.
We work to be the go-to climate NGO in our areas of expertise, by bringing systems-thinking and the best available science to the foreground of our work.

Polish EU Presidency: What does it mean for climate action?
While the Polish Presidency presents an opportunity to address critical challenges, its current priorities fall short of aligning European competitiveness and security with the urgent need for climate action. Bellona’s Roadmap for 2024-2029 calls on the EU to implement ambitious and science-based climate goals to achieve climate neutrality and strengthen EU security. By focusing on industrial decarbonisation, renewable energy integration, transparent climate policy, and green public procurement, the Presidency can lead the EU towards a resilient, competitive, and climate-neutral future. As such, Bellona calls on Poland to implement more concrete and ambitious climate policies and well-functioning markets for a net-zero world.
