Our services

Perspectives is internationally recognized for its innovative, high-quality outputs in many fields of international climate policy. Resulting from more than two decades of world-wide research and consultancy experience on various topics, we can offer deep insights and profound political and economic knowledge in a very flexible, client-oriented manner.

Having gained international reputation for our early work related to the implementation of the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM), including the management of complex Programmes of Activities (PoA), and pioneering approaches for Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions (NAMAs), we successfully broadened our focus beyond market mechanisms and mitigation policies to elaboration of Low Emission Development Strategies (LEDS), Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), adaptation and Climate Finance:
