The KONTEXT Institute
The KONTEXT Institute is an independent, non-partisan think tank. We show how ecological transformation leads to greater prosperity, security and democracy – and develop solutions that make this possible.
Our team brings together expertise in economics, politics and society. We provide clarity where technical and scientific assessments meet political decisions. Where current polarisation has led to deadlock, we set out practical ways forward. In this way, we help decision-makers implement ambitious climate policy swiftly.
How we work
Analysis
In our publications, we focus on issues where there is a real opportunity for political change, developing concrete solutions and data-driven narratives that show the benefits of ecological transformation.
Public Outreach
Through our evidence-based work, we aim to foster constructive public debate. To ensure the greatest possible impact, we maintain a strong presence in the media and channels that matter most.
Network
Our strong network gives us insight into what it takes to bring about political change. To enable forward-looking decisions, we translate different perspectives into concrete solutions and take them to where those decisions are made.
Clarity in Climate Matters

Advisory Boards
The KONTEXT Institute is advised by a high-profile, interdisciplinary Advisory Board and a Scientific Advisory Board of subject-matter experts. Both boards not only help ensure the quality of our work but, together with a broad base of supporters, also safeguard KONTEXT’s independence.
