What We Offer

Our Services

Expert-led research, advisory, and consulting across the full sustainability spectrum.

Environmental & Climate Research

ESI conducts independent, peer-reviewed research on the relationships between economic activity, energy systems, climate change, and environmental outcomes. Our research team draws on advanced econometric methods, spatial analysis, and interdisciplinary approaches to generate evidence that is both academically rigorous and policy-relevant. We produce publications in international journals and applied research outputs tailored to the needs of specific clients and contexts.

  • Peer-reviewed and applied environmental research
  • Environmental and Social Impact Assessments (ESIAs)
  • Climate physical risk analysis
  • Carbon footprint and lifecycle assessments
  • Data analysis and econometric modelling

Climate Policy & Advisory

We provide expert policy analysis, advisory services, and technical support to governments, international organisations, and development finance institutions. Our team has deep expertise in national and international climate governance frameworks, including the Paris Agreement, NDCs, and emerging carbon market mechanisms. We translate complex scientific and economic evidence into clear, actionable policy recommendations.

  • National climate policy analysis and development
  • NDC design and implementation support
  • Regulatory advisory on climate and environmental law
  • Stakeholder engagement and consultation facilitation
  • Policy briefs and technical reports

Sustainability Consulting & ESG

We work with corporations, financial institutions, and development organisations to embed sustainability into their strategies, operations, and reporting. As ESG requirements evolve rapidly across jurisdictions, ESI helps clients navigate the landscape of international standards — from GRI and TCFD to the new ISSB frameworks — and develop credible, actionable sustainability practices that meet regulatory requirements and stakeholder expectations.

  • Corporate sustainability strategy development
  • ESG reporting (GRI, TCFD, ISSB standards)
  • Sustainability audits and gap analysis
  • Green finance advisory and taxonomy alignment
  • Supply chain sustainability due diligence

Capacity Building & Training

ESI designs and delivers targeted training programmes, workshops, and seminars for government officials, development practitioners, academics, and corporate teams. Our programmes are grounded in the latest research and best practice, and are tailored to the specific needs and knowledge levels of participants. We offer both open-access programmes and bespoke in-house training for organisations.

  • Workshops on environmental economics and climate finance
  • Sustainability reporting and ESG training
  • Research methods and data analysis training
  • Curriculum development for tertiary institutions
  • Bespoke in-house training programmes

Grant Management & Research Partnerships

We have extensive experience identifying, applying for, and managing competitive research grants and development funding from bilateral, multilateral, and private foundation sources. ESI also serves as a connector and broker — helping academic institutions, NGOs, and government agencies form productive research consortia and access international funding opportunities they might not otherwise reach.

  • Grant identification and proposal development
  • Research consortium formation and management
  • Project monitoring, evaluation, and reporting
  • Research partnership brokering
  • Capacity support for international funding applications
