As outlined in the document, the ranking/prioritization was done internally by Giving Green staff, based on our experience working in the space, a wide array of experts working on various parts of the climate issue, and reviewing public documents. I agree probably not the most robust procedure, but it was meant mostly to limit the scope of our search task to make it manageable given the size of our team.
In 2021 we’re taking some different tactics, in an attempt to improve our methods. For our US work we’re diving much more deeply into some sector analysis (particularly activism) to make a clearer yes/no case for inclusion. We’ll post more about that soon. In Australia, we’re taking a different tactic of doing a systematic quantitative and qualitative survey of experts, using the ITN framework. Going forward, we’re going to try to integrate the best of these different tactics into a set of best practices for future years.
