Our Approach
Our Approach
We need to understand what's wrong, what works, and why.
Collaborating with researchers, NGOs, and government departments, we combine administrative records, survey data, and geographic information systems to quantify the social and economic consequences of pollution, natural disasters, climate change, and environmental policies.
We want to foster, support, and encourage demand-driven, evidence-based, policy.
