Environment and Energy

Energy production and consumption remain the largest drivers of global warming, significantly impacting post-conflict countries, where energy infrastructure may have suffered damage or remains underdeveloped, posing challenges in ensuring reliable and sustainable energy access for the population. Additionally, a substantial portion of the community continues to rely on traditional fossil fuels, such as charcoal and animal waste, for cooking and heating, perpetuating environmental degradation and health risks.

Our comprehensive approach helps clients rebuild and upgrade existing infrastructure, develop renewable energy sources, and provide off-grid solutions, as well as enhance local capacity, good governance practices, and stakeholder engagement toward sustainable development.

Collaborating with governments, non-profits, and other stakeholders, we facilitate a coordinated effort to optimize energy policies and practices, ensuring that the benefits of sustainable energy are widely distributed and equitable.
