Our work

We support governments and businesses to solve complex issues associated with natural, productive and built environments.

Natural Capital & Climate provides evidence-based economic, climate adaptation, strategy and policy advice to inform sustainable management of land, water resources, nature and urban landscapes.

We bring a wealth of experience in economic analysis to support decision-making. This includes market and non-market valuation, cost-benefit and cost-effectiveness analysis, and multi-criteria approaches to assess feasibility. We ensure our advice considers economic, environmental, social and cultural values and outcomes. Our team helps clients apply economic analysis to decision-making frameworks, including robust business cases to support investment across a range of sectors and contexts.

We work with clients to assess climate- and nature-related risks and opportunities, and incorporate these into strategies, business models and plans. We support clients to make informed choices, and to build the adaptative capacity they need to strengthen resilience and create value. We help organisations navigate sustainability-related performance and disclosure requirements.

Our expertise extends to stakeholder engagement, strategy and policy. We routinely collaborate with experts in biophysical, social and data sciences to ensure our advice is informed by best available information.

We work with public and private sector clients in Australia, south and south-east Asia and the Pacific.
