Climate Policy and Governance

We help governments and public institutions address the challenges posed by climate change and develop effective strategies for resilience and sustainability.

We treat climate not as a standalone theme but as a factor that runs through infrastructure, budgets, services and risk across the whole of government.

What we do

  1. Climate-Related Risk Management

    We identify, assess and manage the risks climate change poses to public infrastructure, services and communities, and develop mitigation strategies for long-term sustainability and resilience.

  2. Climate Threat to Policy

    We show how climate threats shape policy development and implementation across government, and advise on embedding climate considerations to make policy more robust and adaptable.

  3. Resilience Learning and Capacity Building

    We deliver training that strengthens the ability of officials and institutions to adapt to and recover from climate-related disruption, with practical skills at every level of governance.

  4. Integrating Climate into Government Policy

    We work with governments to integrate mitigation and adaptation into new and existing policy, advising on legislation, regulation and strategic planning so climate action is embedded across public governance.

  5. Climate Change Impact Assessment

    We assess vulnerabilities across sectors and communities, helping prioritise action on the most pressing climate-related issues.

  6. Enterprise Risk Management

    We help institutions build enterprise risk management frameworks that incorporate climate-related risk, supporting continuity and resilience.

Questions clients ask

What does climate adaptation look like in government planning?

Budgets, infrastructure standards and service plans that assume more frequent floods, droughts and heat, with contingency financing and early-warning arrangements built in.

Why include climate in enterprise risk management?

So that weather disruption, resource stress and new regulation are managed as core risks with owners, controls and funding, rather than as surprises.
