Climate Services
Meeting the worldwide challenge
of climate change.
ERG helps its clients identify and quantify sources of greenhouse gas emissions, understand the impacts of climate change, and develop strategies to reduce emissions and mitigate impacts. For every sector of the economy, we conduct detailed assessments of the processes and practices that generate greenhouse gas emissions and identify opportunities for emission reductions.
ERG's engineers, scientists, economists, communications specialists, and IT professionals help develop and implement local, state, and national climate change programs. We also provide practical tools and cost-effective solutions to support greenhouse gas mitigation projects throughout the world.
