Climate change
Climate Policy Consulting.
To define and implement mitigation strategies.
In order to meet the central goal of the Paris Climate Change Agreement – which is to limit global warming to well below 2°C and as close to 1.5°C as possible, and to achieve climate neutrality in the second half of this century – robust climate planning is required (UNFCCC, 2017).
EcoTraders’ experts help governmental and corporate entities define and implement ambitious action, delivered by cost-effective and practical interventions, and supported by a robust impact assessment.
