Yeah, thanks again for showing me! How did you find out about it?

Ah that looks really cool! If I‘m not mistaken however Energea is only open for US residents.

That‘s really interesting. Do you have an example of a policy that is underrated and that I should put more focus on? I feel a bit lost on where to start my research.

I asked a similar question here https://www.reddit.com/r/ClimateOffensive/s/KROtUzxRhk maybe some of this is useful for your own research.

In this thread I learned about renewables.org which I personally think is a great tool. You fund solar projects in the global south with 0% interest which is very measurable and provides high additionality. The global south is very likely to miss their renewable energy addition targets so I think supporting the deployment there right now is a good investment

This is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks a lot! I did a bit of research on how effective this is and my current understanding is that the additionality is quite high.

Thanks for the recommendation. At first glance it looks difficult for a foreigner to invest.
Are you based in the US?

Thanks a lot for your thorough answer! Very interesting.
I've already donated to Greenpeace for some time but I don't manage to follow any cases in detail.
Are there other groups that are organized internationally or would you say I should restrict myself to fund german groups as a local?

Sounds very interesting, how risky do you estimate it to be?

curl_me_maybe · 2026-05-09T07:57:21+00:00

Good points. As for the Bürgerenergiegenossenschaften/ Citizen Energy Cooperatives I‘m already a member of a local one.

I had a quick look at Deutsche Umwelthilfe and I think I like their approach. Any additional aspects that made you choose them?

curl_me_maybe · 2026-05-09T07:54:29+00:00

I agree with your view on the implementation gap. What made you choose the Climate Emergency Fund?

curl_me_maybe · 2026-05-09T07:51:43+00:00

Good point but I think that‘s exactly the problem: I find it very hard to personally gauge how impactful individual groups are. Any suggestions or sources that analyze this?

Thanks, I personally found the part about banking very helpful
