Mott MacDonald’s environmental focus here is on results –
helping governments to make air, water and land cleaner and safer
for future generations.
We work on a local, national and international level with the aim
of protecting and improving the environment, and integrating it
with other policies across government and in international
fora.
Effective protection of the environment requires activity on many
wide-ranging different fronts - for example, from acting to limit
global environmental threats (such as global warming) to
safeguarding individuals from the effects of poor air quality or
toxic chemicals.
Actions to protect the environment also produce benefits such as
housing (through improved energy efficiency of buildings), social
progress (through action to combat fuel poverty), economic growth
(through more efficient use of resources, such as re-use, recycling
and recovery of waste), and sustainable development (through
poverty relief, equal standards of living, environmental
stewardship and avoiding irreversible damage to natural
capital).
Our expertise in this sector includes:
- Advice and contributions on developing local and national
governmental strategy
- Environmental assessments for sustainable housing
developments
- Policy advise and environmental services to national regulatory
bodies world wide
