Our expertise
Our team encompasses experts in environment, policy and global development to deliver sustainable solutions in the following areas:
Natural Resource Management
“ENV assists organizations with gearing their policies towards managing natural resources in a way that satisfies the needs of both humans and the ecosystems they depend on”
Natural resources are the basis of human life. However, natural resources are not infinitely available for human use. Effective governance and management of resources have always been important, but have become increasingly challenging in the face of changing climate and fuel conflicts for both the preservation and utilization of natural resources. ENV assists organizations with gearing their policies towards managing natural resources in a way that satisfies the needs of both humans and the ecosystems they depend on.
Agroforestry and climate-smart agriculture
“We help organizations disentangle the agro-ecologic complexity and create coordinated actions to the benefits of land users at all levels”
Agroforestry systems are multifunctional systems that provide a wide range of economic, sociocultural, and environmental benefits. Through the integration of trees on farms and in the agricultural landscape, agroforestry diversifies and sustains production for greater resilience, increased biodiversity and a more productive, profitable, and climate-friendly use of the land compared to a monoculture system. The diversity of disciplines involved by agroforestry is certainly a strength, but its complexity also represents a challenge. ENV helps organizations disentangle this complexity and create coordinated actions to the benefits of land users at all levels.
Ecosystem restoration
“Our experts assist organization with framing actions that sustain biodiversity, improve resilience in a changing climate, and re-establish an ecologically healthy relationship between nature and culture”
Many of the world’s ecosystems have undergone significant degradation with negative impacts on biological diversity and our livelihoods. We now know that will not be able to conserve the earth’s biological diversity through the protection of critical areas alone. Hence, assisting the recovery of an ecosystem that has been degraded, damaged or destroyed is a fundamental component of conservation and sustainable development programs throughout the world. ENV assists organization with framing actions that sustain biodiversity, improve resilience in a changing climate, and re-establish an ecologically healthy relationship between nature and culture.
Climate advisory
“ENV provides strategic advice on how to endorse a steady and committed approach to climate action that drives down emissions, increases economic opportunities and improves community resilience”
Global climate change has already had observable effects on the environment and our society. Glaciers have shrunk, ice on rivers and lakes is breaking up earlier, plant and animal ranges have shifted, trees are flowering sooner and climate extreme weather events have worsened due to rising temperatures. Scientists have high confidence that global temperatures will continue to rise for decades to come, largely due to greenhouse gases produced by human activities. ENV provides strategic advice to organizations on how to endorse a steady and committed approach to climate action that drives down emissions, increases economic opportunities and improves community resilience.
Renewable energies and low-carbon development
“We help our clients integrate renewable energy solutions within their development policies to help free communities from their energy gap or burden and enhance energy security”
Developing countries are approaching renewable energies as part of their industrialisation process because they are products of manufacturing. The benefits of low-carbon forms of development encompass environmental and human health, economic stimulus and employment creation, enhanced gender equality, and other societal gains that support the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. ENV advices organizations on how to integrate renewable energy solutions within their development policies to help free communities from their energy gap or burden and enhance energy security.
