The Shift Project

The Shift Project is a think tank that works towards an economy freed from carbon constraints. We are a non-profit association under the French law of 1901, guided by the requirement of scientific rigor. Our mission is to shed light on and influence the debate on the energy transition. 

SHEDLIGHT - We set up working groups around the most delicate and decisive issues of the transition towards an economy freed from its dependence on fossil fuels; 

We produce robust and quantified analyses on the key aspects of the transition; 

We develop innovative proposals, with the aim of providing answers at the right scale. 

INFLUENCE - We conduct lobbying campaigns to promote the recommendations of our working groups to political and economic decision-makers; 

We organize events that encourage discussions between stakeholders; 

We build partnerships with professional organizations, academia and international players. 

The Shift Project is supported by economic leaders who want to make the energy transition their strategic priority. It is supported by a network of several thousand volunteers grouped together in an association: The Shifters. Since our creation in 2010, our work has had a significant impact on the development of national and European public policies.
