BC3 winner of 2012 European ICCG Climate Think Tank Ranking
The International Center for Climate Governance (ICCG), is pleased to announce the winners of the 2012 ICCG Climate Think Tank Ranking, the first ranking of think tanks working in the field of climate change economics and policy.
The 2012 ICCG Climate Think Tank Ranking is composed of a Global category and a European category. “Global” refers to think tanks whose headquarters are based outside the EU, and “European” refers to those based in the EU.
The winners are:
- in the European category: the Basque Centre for Climate Change (BC3), founded in 2008 in Bilbao;
- in the Global category: the Belfer Center for Science and international Affairs, founded in 1973 in Cambridge, MA, USA, with its Environment and Natural Resources Program.
This is the first edition of the ICCG Climate Think Tank Ranking, which
has assessed a selection of the main think tanks included in the Think
Tank Map observatory as of December, 2012. The indicators are based on
the criteria of per capita productivity for each think tank and have
been carefully selected since 2012 when specific weights were assigned
according to the feedback provided by experts in the field. The two
categories differ by the number and type of assessment criteria: the
criteria in the Global ranking are a subset of those in the European
ranking. Therefore, the Global category does not encompass EU think
tanks, which have two additional indicators (the number of EU projects
and participation in the EU consultation process).

About the Think Tank Map
The Think Tank Map observatory , a project developed by the International Center for Climate Governance (ICCG)
, was launched in 2011 as an instrument to provide a complete overview
of active think tanks in the field of climate change economics and
policy. The Think Tank Map is currently composed of 275 think tanks
worldwide. The Think Tank Map is not only a showcase for every
organization working on climate change economics and policy, but it is
also a catalyst for new cooperation opportunities, allowing
stakeholders, researchers, institutions, and the media to be informed on
all the relevant activities and to engage in mutually beneficial
partnerships.
