CLIMATE ACTION
Climate Action for Sustainable Planet
Climate change is a global emergency and the biggest challenge facing humanity. From shifting weather patterns to adversely impacting our ability to ensure global food and water security, eradicating poverty and achieving sustainable development goals, climate change adversely impacts the social and environmental determinants of health.
We recognise the need to step up climate action to build a sustainable future. Our team proactively engages with clients to develop and implement strategies that convert environment risks into competitive advantage. Through our innovative approach & digital solutions, we help identify and harness climate innovation, assess climate risks, build climate awareness, and integrate climate adaptation into planning and operations to help policy makers, governments, private sector entities, communities and other institutions improve their response to climate change risks.
Our Climate Change & Sustainability Team prioritises climate actions through evidence-based research and analysis, including but not limited to biodiversity, forest governance, climate innovation, energy efficiency, and water management. This enables us to help our stakeholders embed climate proofing and sustainability into their growth and development plans.
