Acknowledging the need for improved, updated and new policies to confront the current and future environmental and climate change challenges facing society, WE&B provides a forward-looking Policy Innovation service. Leveraging our expertise in stakeholder co-creation processes, we provide our insight through the three components of:

Rooted in scientific research principles we provide comprehensive analysis of the gaps in existing policies while we advance knowledge and propose evidence-based recommendations for improvement. Harnessing the research data and stakeholder inputs we evaluate the effectiveness of current policies and programs, providing insights on their impact, efficiency, and how they interact with existing governance mechanisms. This leads us in providing policy recommendations, white and green papers, communication campaigns that can advocate for the desired changes.

The current areas that the WE&B team are passionate about and provide a call to action where we are open to collaborate to create the change we want to see.
