Climate action fails without credible policy. We exist to make it credible.

We take carbon market activities from first idea to issued credit: feasibility and scoping, methodology development, design, validation, registration to issuance, and the MRV that carries a project through verification and issuance. Across the Voluntary Carbon Market, Article 6 and compliance schemes, environmental integrity is the non-negotiable, and we never invest in or trade credits ourselves.

We help build carbon market frameworks that hold, and translate carbon market rules into tangible implementation options: advising on host country Article 6 readiness and strategy, eligibility and integrity criteria, organising policy dialogues and observing Article 6 negotiations. Evidence first, and we never invest in or trade credits ourselves.

International climate finance plays a pivotal role in enabling developing countries to pursue low-carbon (mitigation) and climate-resilient (adaptation) pathways. We help governments, non-governmental organisations and financial institutions unlock and access critical climate finance, acting as a bridge between research and policymaking.

Working hand in hand with governments, sectoral institutions and local stakeholders to assess, revise, finance and implement ambitious NDCs. We support mitigation planning, sectoral integration, implementation roadmaps, Article 6.8 approaches, capacity-building, MRV systems, and the preparation of future NDC rounds in line with national development priorities and the Paris Agreement.

Climate change impacts are increasing across the globe. Making our societies and ecosystems more resilient to those impacts is one of the most pressing challenges of our time, yet adaptation efforts are being implemented too slowly. At Perspectives, we strengthen adaptation action by developing innovative approaches for fostering impactful activities on the ground and scaling up adaptation finance.

We assess CDR methods and their governance frameworks, design policy instruments and develop methodologies for high-integrity removals such as Direct Air Capture, Bio-CCS, biochar and marine CDR. Our research shapes how removals are perceived socio-economically, accounted for, financed and integrated into national climate strategies and carbon markets.

We assess SRM and design and evaluate adequate governance frameworks and research conditions. Our research shapes how SRM is perceived socio-economically and how domestic and international governance structures, regulation and respective public and private actors can work together.

For three decades we have supported governments and negotiating groups in navigating the complexities of climate negotiations. Our objective is to facilitate international agreement on ambitious climate policy through technical advisory, capacity building and on-site delegation support, spanning Article 6, climate finance, adaptation and transparency.
