Wise is committed to 100% renewable energy A clean, safe and fair energy supply, now and in the future, for everyone.
WISE (World Information Service on Energy) is an independent environmental organization committed to 100% renewable energy, without fossil fuels or nuclear power. Since the 1970s, WISE has combined in-depth expertise with action-oriented campaigns to force policy change.
The organization focuses on the system level: not treating symptoms, but addressing the rules, incentives, and power structures that sustain climate pollution. With a compact team and a highly engaged supporter base, WISE consistently delivers measurable impact with limited resources.
Impact figures (2024)
~1,200 recurring donors form the financial backbone
~25,000 CO₂ emission allowances permanently destroyed via Carbon Killer
Active in national and European policy advocacy (incl. EU ETS)
Strong media presence in outlets such as NRC, Trouw, Volkskrant, and NOS
The current energy system rewards pollution. Fossil fuel subsidies persist, nuclear power absorbs public funds, and emissions trading allows major polluters to emit at artificially low cost.
WISE demonstrates that this is not inevitable. By removing emission allowances from the market, applying legal pressure, and dismantling misleading narratives, WISE directly reduces the emissions space available to industry and expands political room for genuine climate solutions.
Without system change, there is no structural climate impact.
