Our approach blends comprehensive evidence synthesis, participatory tools, and systems thinking to create solutions that drive social and institutional change where it matters most. We have the technical expertise to interpret detailed climate projections and translate them to ensure initiatives are designed for long-term benefit as the climate continues to change. 

Led by Dr Veronica Doerr, whose experience spans the land sector (agriculture, natural resource management, water management and associated livelihoods and industries), our team also applies this work in other areas including infrastructure, education, private sector development and social protection.
