Climate Change Mitigation
Our experts help policy-makers identify and prioritize options for reducing emissions, such as by developing clean and renewable energy systems.

We do this by developing road maps for reform, engaging proactively with policy-makers and the stakeholders they engage with, providing quantitative and qualitative analysis of policy options for energy and carbon mitigation, and identifying means of implementation.
