Climate Change

stream

While climate change is perhaps the most serious environmental challenge we have ever faced, it also presents an opportunity to shape a sustainable path to the future.

In addressing the diverse issues related to climate change, Abt draws upon an equally diverse set of disciplines. Our national and international experts integrate environmental and energy policy, public health, ecosystem protection, economic growth, and agriculture, among other sectors. Together, they have applied their expertise to a range of climate change issues—from health impacts analyses presented during the Kyoto negotiations in 1997, to an IT solution for tracking climate project progress presented at the 2010 Conference of the Parties of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change.

With our unique mix of experience, we are able to craft approaches to efficiently deliver results in climate mitigation and adaptation efforts.
