Greenhouse Gas Accounting, Modeling, and Visualization

 

We support our clients in making decisions through transparent and defensible data.

Greenhouse gas emission inventories are incredibly powerful if done right and serve as the foundation for community engagement, climate strategy, and policy.

They increase our understanding of climate change impacts and inform how to change current habits. Through modeling and visualizations we use them to help our clients and the public understand which levers will increase or decrease emissions.
