Our team of experts provide the support to develop policies and strategies that demonstrably reduce the impacts of climate change. We'll suport you with problem analysis and needs assessment, definition of policy objectives and the related intervention logic development, identification of alternative future policy options, and position paper preparation.
We have decades of experience in supporting governments and organisations across the full life cycle of effective policy implementation. Our experts will support you in identifying the right resources, skills, and organisations to support your policy implementation. Our expertise includes managing implementation risks, developing pilot and demonstration programmes, and creating effective policy communication strategies and tactics.
Our policy experts and leading digital data modeling provide policy agenda setting insights that help governments and organisations stay ahead of future climate change challenges. Our evidence-based approach provides valuable insight into the challenges and opportunities of climate change. We leverage horizon scanning, research, powerful modelling and stakeholder consultation to identify emerging policy issues.
We build advanced macroeconomic models that capture the inter-dependencies of all economic agents at a global scale. Our economic models are provides details on the macro-economy and its interaction with the environment and energy systems. The insights provided by our models allows for a consistent comparative analysis of policy scenarios through enabling the economic systems to remain in equilibrium.
We support you to unlock the power of data-driven decision making with our expert development of decision matrices and assessment frameworks. We provide evaluation of the environmental, social, and economic impacts of alternative policy options, and model the projected future impacts against a defined baselines. Our experts help you make informed decisions for a sustainable future.
Our experts provide a robust approach to assess the effectiveness of existing policies and measures. Services include rapid evidence assessment, policy monitoring and impact assessment, cost-benefit analysis, and stakeholder consultation and engagement.

Bespoke transport modelling tools
Exploring the impacts of different technology, policy and infrastructure scenarios.
Sustainable Transport Model (SULTAN)
SULTAN analyses the potential impact of technologies and policy pathways for the development of sustainable mobility strategies. It has been used in many policy studies at EU level (for the EC, and a range of NGOs and trade associations).
Charger Route Model (ChaRM)
The ChaRM tool helps decision makers assess the relative costs and emissions of different electric fleet technologies.
Vehicle life-cycle assessment (LCA) modelling framework
Our vehicle life-cycle assessment (LCA) modelling framework provides analysis of the environmental impacts of road vehicle types, powertrains and fuel/electricity production chains.
