Evaluation Economy

Climate / environment

Climate change is a global phenomenon that is presenting significant environmental, economic and societal challenges. Changes need to be made in terms of emissions reductions and adaptation strategies if we are to deal with this problem. For both strategies, there are international, national, regional and local approaches that are being implemented at a political, institutional and societal level. econcept conducts research on this subject and evaluates and supports the implementation of related projects across the board, from local to international level. Our interdisciplinary teams cover a broad spectrum of environmental topics. We lay the groundwork for sound decision-making, develop strategies, devise measures and instruments, support authorities, institutions and companies in their implementation and evaluate the effects.

Focus Areas

We help private and public institutions to lay the groundwork and develop strategies which will enable them to meet their climate-related legal obligations. We also support them in the implementation of projects and programmes for reducing emissions.
