Our Impact
A sampling of our climate work
Environmental Defense Fund
FIND, MEASURE, FIX: JOBS IN THE U.S. METHANE EMISSIONS MITIGATION INDUSTRY
We identified hundreds of U.S. firms ready, willing, and able to provide proven technologies and services to reduce methane emissions from the oil and gas industry, enabling our client to reach out to the newly emerging mitigation industry and to demonstrate the positive impact that investing in emissions reductions will have on the U.S. economy.
Clean Air Task Force and Environmental Defense Fund
ZERO-EMISSION ALTERNATIVES TO PNEUMATIC CONTROL
We assessed the readiness of U.S. companies to supply zero-methane-emitting technologies to oil and gas producers, providing insights used to inform the federal process for updating methane rules.
National Association of Conservation Districts
We prepared four 3-year case studies tracking how midwestern farmers’ bottom lines are affected by two climate resilience practices—cover crops and no-till—to better understand, document, and promote the economic benefits of soil health management.
Walton Family Foundation and Environmental Defense Fund
Using surveys, interviews, and publicly available data, we calculated the $19-billion value of the Gulf Coast wildlife tourism industry, drawing attention to a huge but unrecognized driver of the region’s economy. This enabled our client to raise awareness of the region's economic vulnerability to climate change and to advocate effectively for large-scale investment in coastal environmental restoration.
Soil Health Renaissance
We provided qualitative research and meeting facilitation to a multi-year collaboration among academics, industry, government, farmers, and ranchers, an effort that led to the successful creation of the Soil Health Institute, a global non-profit dedicated to improving the vitality and productivity of soils through scientific research and advancement.
Rockefeller Foundation
We identified potential pinch points in the nature-based supply chains—meaning for trees, shrubs, and grasses—critical to innovative climate resilience strategies in New Orleans and New York City, enabling planners to devise appropriate timelines and avoid potential disruptions (private report).
