Ember, formerly Sandbag or Sandbag Climate Campaign, is an environmental non-profitthink tank, campaigning to reduce the use of coal.[1][2][3][4] Based in the UK,[5] the organisation was launched in 2008 by Bryony Worthington and was the first (and founding) member of The Guardian's Environment Network.[6]
Sandbag Climate Campaign was launched as a campaign on the European Union's Emission Trading Scheme, allowing its members to campaign to reduce the number of permits in circulation and to purchase permits and cancel them. Large corporations (such as vehicle manufacturers) must obtain these permits from the EU if they need to emit greenhouse gases during production. The purchase of these permits by the public prevents their use by corporations. Worthington described her organisation as "a bit like burning money in front of someone so they can't spend it on something bad."[7]
Worthington gave the first public talk on Sandbag (as well as emissions trading in general) at a geeKyoto meeting in London during May 2008.[8][9]
In 2018, 10 years since its launch, Sandbag registered a Brussels-based organinsation, Sandbag Climate Campaign ASBL. As of 2020, this became the main Sandbag office for EU policies. Sandbag's current EU Engagement is led by Suzana Carp.
