Working across our six climate-focused practice areas, we craft solutions to help clients accomplish a range of objectives.
We'll work with you to produce the right outputs for the task. Success with S2S always looks different — deliverables for past projects have included:
We also provide strategic advice in a confidential setting to corporate, philanthropic and government leaders.
Examples of what we've delivered across our practice areas:
Net zero strategy, due diligence and geoengineering ethics: We've helped some of the world's largest philanthropies and market-leading companies identify which carbon dioxide removal technologies and natural climate solutions hold the greatest potential as pathways to capture and sequester carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases — and which solutions are "too-good-to-be-true" red herrings that carry significant financial, legal and reputational risks. Offering globally-sought-after expertise on the ethics, risks and benefits of emerging geoengineering technologies, we've also advised governments and large private organizations on funding, investments and communications strategy.
Landscape assessments/expert insight & analysis: Drawing on our deep, in-house scientific expertise and our international network of scientific and policy experts, we've delivered authoritative landscape assessments, subject-specific technical analyses and strategic action plans for
Net zero strategy for green shipping: We combined our expertise in climate science, our deep knowledge of the carbon crediting and removals landscape, and our experience in marine operations and international diplomacy to develop a green shipping strategy that helped several countries meet national climate objectives while moving a major shipping company closer to IMO emissions targets. This strategy combined insetting using a novel CDR method with deployment of a green shipping corridor alongside government financial commitments.
Matching philanthropic investments to climate impact: We've guided both large philanthropies and small family offices in developing tailored natural climate solutions portfolios to match different removal methods with unique conservation goals.
Down- and upscaling using climate risk models: We've helped local governments, Federal agencies, banks, insurers and non-profit organizations obtain specific, actionable insights from the latest data and climate models to evaluate climate-related risk to infrastructure, personal residences, current or potential conservation properties, shipping routes, supply chains and government/corporate operations.
Climate-proofing emergency response and incident management: We've combined our internationally-recognized experience as emergency management practitioners with our expertise in climate science to help local, tribal, state and Federal jurisdictions develop "climate smart" response plans for contingencies and disasters.
Risks and opportunities in the Arctic and Antarctic: We’ve helped government and corporate clients assess climate-related risks and opportunities associated with infrastructure, operations, science and strategic competition in the polar regions.
Adaptation and resilience planning: We've helped both government jurisdictions and private organizations prioritize key actions to build climate resilience while allocating resources for future adaptation needs.
