We measure for a better future

Mitigation and Climate Action

What cannot be measured, cannot be improved. We support governments, companies, and institutions in measuring, planning, and implementing emission reduction actions through:

  • Greenhouse gas (GHG) and air pollutant inventories.
  • Emission projections and scenario modeling & assessment (LEAP, MARKAL, OPGEN, BALMOREL, GACMO, among others).
  • Mitigation potential (emission reduction) assessments.
  • Design and implementation of quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC) systems and continuous improvement mechanisms.
  • Formulation and evaluation of climate policies, laws, and regulations.
  • Design of strategies and project roadmaps for effective implementation.

Climate Transparency and International Reporting

We give voice to our clients’ progress before the global community. We facilitate compliance with UNFCCC requirements and other international standards. We design indicators to track the implementation and achievement of plans, policies, and commitments:

  • Comprehensive support for Biennial Transparency Reports (BTRs), Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), Long-Term Climate Strategies (LTS), National Communications (NCs), and National Adaptation Plans (NAPs).
  • Hands-on training for drafting teams and expert pre-submission review.
  • Design and operationalization of climate transparency frameworks.
  • Development of Monitoring, Reporting, and Verification (MRV) systems and Monitoring, Evaluation, and Learning (MEL) systems at national, subnational, and sectoral levels.

Sustainable and Climate Finance

We turn ideas into green investments — climate-focused and nature-based. We enable access to sustainable capital and funding by:

  • Developing strategies to participate in voluntary and compliance carbon markets, ensuring environmental integrity, avoidance of double counting, and application of environmental and social safeguards for carbon credits.
  • Designing taxonomies and national sustainable finance plans, incorporating social, conservation, and restoration criteria.
  • Conducting cost-benefit analyses, cost-effectiveness-risk assessments, and developing systems to track climate and biodiversity finance flows.
  • Mobilizing resources from international entities (GCF, GEF, AF), multilateral development banks, and biodiversity funds.

Capacity Building

We design training processes tailored to the needs of diverse stakeholders, promoting early and active engagement throughout each initiative. We foster synergies with an inclusive and context-sensitive approach, addressing gender issues, Indigenous Peoples’ rights, and the needs of other vulnerable groups:

  • Support for technical capacity development and institutional strengthening.
  • Delivery of theoretical and practical workshops using interactive tools and participatory formats.
  • Development of educational materials such as operational guides and manuals.
