Energy
Our experts offer practical guidance to help authorities choose the right system of electricity generation, reduce consumption of fossil-based transport fuels, and implement international climate change commitments.
We work side-by-side with local partners for less costly, more equitable energy systems. Aware of international policy developments, we identify wasteful practices, encourage new thinking, engage civil society, and support policy reform.
