What is our philosophy?
- We reject extremes and exclusivism, seeking middle ground and consensus solutions.
- We also look at global issues through Hungarian eyes. In environmental protection, local values are as important as international climate agreements, quotas and summits.
- We put people at the center of environmental protection, not in the crosshairs. We see people not only as a problem but also as a solution.
- We believe that green thinking and patriotic thinking are closely linked.
- In environmental protection, the preservation of the rich culture of the countryside and the preservation of traditional ways of life are as important as research into the latest innovations and technological advances.
- We focus on action and solutions, rather than scaremongering and climate change anxiety.
- At our Institute, environmental protection is not just about research - everyone on our team is personally and actively involved in serving the purposes of environmental protection.
- We produce broader policy papers and participate in strategic decision making, but we also work on more practical issues that affect people's everyday lives and bring the issue of climate change closer to citizens.
