AREAS WE Work in
Energy, Low Carbon and Net Zero
CAG partners have specialist knowledge in areas such as low carbon strategies, energy efficiency, fuel poverty, community energy and electricity markets.
Climate Resilience and Adaptation
Our climate is rapidly changing and impacts are already being seen in all sectors. Understanding the risks and opportunities this presents is of increasing importance to many organisations and communities.
Communities and Placemaking
Having been involved in the original work advocating sustainable development in the UK, we feel strongly that it is important to take care of the human dimension when addressing environmental or economic challenges.
Air Quality
Our work focuses on those who are especially vulnerable to the effects of pollution, such as young children and those who are exposed to high levels of pollution through their work, such as ambulance and bus drivers.
Just Transition and the Green Economy
CAG have a team of highly skilled and experienced economists who provide a range of economic development services.
