CGS helped Global Green USA with the development of its “Carbon Solutions for Communities” program to establish the policy frameworks and financial models to mobilize resources for energy efficiency and renewable energy projects in low income communities who endure the greatest pollution and face the greatest risk from climate change impacts, and who can benefit most from the new clean energy economy.
CGS developed an organizational structure and substantive parameters for a partnership between Swiss Re and the United Nations Development Program to build demand and supply for high quality carbon "offset" projects with co-benefits for development and broader environmental restoration. With the support of the United Nations Foundation, this “Footprint Neutral” standard aimed to raise the quality of carbon offsets and to ensure broader benefits for poverty alleviation, biodiversity protection, and water and other environmental services.
CGS advised Wolfensohn & Company on its sustainability services development for top financial and corporate clients.
