CLIMATE
Climate change poses a great risk to the planet – especially developing countries – exacerbating socioeconomic problems and increasing the threat of devastating impacts on populations. We assist governments with their efforts in climate-change mitigation, reducing contributions to global warming pollution and creating more sustainable economies.

Today, there is a growing sense of urgency about protecting vulnerable sections of society,  key economic sectors, and critical infrastructure from climate change. Many developing countries must rise to the challenge of creating safeguards against climate change, while also preparing their economies to transition into, and be competitive in, a low-carbon future.

We understand the duality of this challenge in emerging economies, and have established a strong track record in climate change adaptation. We know how countries can harness the opportunities embedded in meeting the challenge, and how responses to climate change can also be leveraged to accelerate socioeconomic development. Our work in the climate space has ranged from assisting the Southern African Development Community Secretariat’s Disaster Risk Reduction Unit to strengthen its regional disaster preparedness, to supporting the UK’s Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office to inform investments in Zimbabwe.
