NATURE AND ECOSYSTEM SERVICES
Nature provides a wide range of benefits to society – called ecosystem services. In this way, it significantly affects the quality of our lives. These include retention of water in the landscape, cooling the urban microclimate and regulating air quality. Since ecosystem services often do not go through the market or are not properly communicated, their value is often overlooked in planning and decision-making processes. We know how to value them; we can help you to communicate them or to include them in important decisions.
WATER MANAGEMENT
Solving water management problems is not just a technical issue, but is linked to a number of socio-economic, institutional and political issues. Who is responsible for implementation? What tools are efficient and cost-effective? We assess the impacts of achieving good water status and propose economic instruments for drought and flood management.
WASTE MANAGEMENT
Waste is a major issue for today’s society. How to handle waste effectively and efficiently? How to involve the public? Our experts deal with waste economics, particularly assessment of regulatory instruments, which help optimize the waste management system and thus reduce its environmental impact.
ENERGY, AIR QUALITY AND CLIMATE
We deal with air protection and energy systems from the point of view of both individual companies and economic policy, public administration and municipalities. For instance, we are involved in development and implementation of legislation, and we also assess impacts of policies on businesses, municipalities and national economies.
WE DO RESEARCH PROJECTS AND COMMERCIAL CONTRACTS
We carry out international and national research projects (e.g., Horizon, COST, TACR, CSF), we prepare professional studies for public administration, local government and the private sector. We educate and produce teaching materials.
WE USE VARIOUS APPROACHES
We apply a wide spectrum of methods: cost-benefit analysis, cost effectiveness analysis, evaluation of ecosystem services. We carry out institutional analysis and impact analysis, including complete regulatory impact assessment (RIA). We develop strategies.
