Our Approach and Results

Abt applies a climate lens across sectors, from clean energy and circular economy solutions to improving air and water quality and building climate-resilient food and health systems. We co-design policies for countries to meet their Paris Agreement commitments, build methane capture solutions for clean energy, and help U.S. Tribal Organizations win grants for climate and environmental projects.
