Climact is an independent energy & climate consulting company, advising both private and public organisations, supporting the world towards a net zero carbon society.
Its Public Sector Business unit provides long term (prospective) advice on the understanding, implications and trade-offs of the energy and climate transition (for Public sector, NGOs, Foundations, and industrial federations).
A key distinctiveness of CLIMACT is the use of inhouse and external models and data to support the advice. We develop sophisticated, user-friendly and open-source models on the energy and climate systems at the global, national, regional and local levels – and use our findings to improve energy and climate policy.
Illustrative projects include supporting federation of NGOs, or federations of industries to design a net zero vision.
