Green Alliance

General information

Green Alliance was launched in 1979 with the aim ‘to ensure that the political priorities of the United Kingdom are determined within an ecological perspective’. Our name originally referred to the large group of eminent individuals from a wide range of professional spheres who were the founding members.

Status and mission

A charity and company limited by guarantee, Green Alliance is now the leading UK think tank working on environmental policy and politics. Always maintaining a non-partisan, pluralist stance, we work across all sectors, in partnership with companies and NGOs and with all the main political parties, to inspire and achieve policy change for a better environment.

Our stated mission is to promote sustainable development by ensuring that the environment is at the heart of decision-making.

Our three core aims are:

• to make the environment a central political issue;
• to integrate the environment into public policy and decision making;
• to stimulate new thinking and advance the environmental agenda into new areas.

Governance and strategy

Green Alliance's strategy and direction is guided by a board of trustees which meets quarterly. A sub-committee of trustees also meets quarterly to oversee and advise on finance and management.

We pursue our aims through six strategic themes:
political leadership: sustainable economy: NGO engagement; low carbon energy; sustainable business; resource stewardship.
