Oxford Climate Policy was registered in April 2005 for the general purpose of capacity building in the context of the UN climate change negotiations, and is charged in particular with managing the Oxford Fellowship Programme of the European Capacity Building Initiative, ecbi

ecbi is an initiative for sustained capacity building in support of international climate change negotiations. The ecbi aims to promote a more level playing field between government delegations to the international climate change negotiations, and to facilitate mutual understanding and trust - both between European and developing countries and among the developing countries.

The project on Enhancing the UNFCCC Process is led by Benito Müller, and funded through Climate Strategies. It is concerned with the process associated with the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change ('the Process'), that is to say the formal negotiations in the UNFCCC Conference of Parties (COP) as well as the informal (intersessional) meetings organised in support of these negotiations.

The project on a Reformed Financial Mechanism of the UNFCCC is run in collaboration with the Oxford Institute for Energy Studies. Its main objective is to investigate the governance and architectural options for longer-term multilateral climate finance.
