The Role

Our work includes supporting clients in the assessment of climate change impacts of projects in a wide range of sectors including renewable energy, transport infrastructure and industry.

We develop GHG inventories for a wide variety of projects and developments, produce GHG and climate change assessments for Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) and planning, and advise on setting emission reduction targets. We also help clients develop climate-related strategies, undertake climate change risk assessments and provide technical, scientific, and socioeconomic advice, based on objective, impartial and evidence-based analysis of a climate change policy.
