We bring a holistic perspective to every assignment, addressing the challenges in their complexity and recognising that systemic transformation requires a multidimensional approach.
Our sectors
Diverse clients, shared impact: partnering to build a sustainable future.
Our clients are a diverse group of changemakers shaping a sustainable future. From global institutions to grassroots organisations, they are united by a commitment to impactful climate action. They include investors, policymakers, and corporations, all striving to build a better world.
How we can help you
Delivering global projects with measurable impact.
The breadth and depth of our experience spans a wide range of services, sectors, clients and geographies. We respond to climate challenges through a combination of mitigation, adaptation, resilience and development approaches. The impact we bring for our clients may be measured in climate dollars mobilised or GHG emissions reduced, but for those vulnerable communities for whom the end result is less concrete, the impact is more difficult to measure, with communities more resilient, lives and livelihoods improved and hope for the future renewed.

Our latest report
Welcome to your 31st GCF insight report – Rethinking capacity building models for climate finance readiness.
Capacity building sits at the heart of international climate finance. Multilateral funds have long recognised that financial resources alone cannot deliver climate outcomes without competent institutions capable of planning, coordinating, and executing complex investment programmes. Significant investment has been made in training, technical assistance, and readiness support to build that foundation. However, a significant hurdle continues to hold things back: while training is being delivered, the conditions to make it stay and translate to more projects aren’t fully present.
‘The project is a real flagship, the strategy turned out to be very successful — excellent work.’
Nadja Vetters, UNDP
