Global GDP growth has averaged more than three percent per year, over the past 30 years, thanks in large part to the availability of relatively inexpensive resources, including energy, water, and agricultural commodities. Increasingly, economic and population growth are putting mounting pressures on these resources. Decision makers in the public, social and private sectors face a challenge in developing green growth strategies and need to find the ‘sweet spot’ at the center of their value-creating agenda, the sustainability imperative, and the challenges of resource economics— including resource supply/demand tensions, technology innovation, and regulatory interventions.

Our Sustainability & Resource Productivity Practice brings together teams with the latest insights, experience, and expertise to help the world’s governments and leading organizations address the impact of climate change, sustainability, and resource challenges. We assist almost 500 clients each year as they address topics such as corporate social responsibility, carbon and energy economics, biosystems, water and waste, sustainable enterprises, clean tech, and green development and operations.
