Environment and energy

We support leaders faced with consequential questions about how to protect the planet while creating opportunities for climate-affected communities.

Our work in environment and energy

Tackling the joint challenges of climate change and energy poverty requires concerted efforts by governments, civil society, and the corporate sector – all using the best social, behavioral, and physical sciences to inform their policies and practices.

IDinsight has a growing portfolio of projects that provide decision support to leaders faced with consequential questions about how to protect the planet while creating opportunities for those on the margins of society – and how to manage and prepare for the impacts of climate disasters.

We bring together multiple data sources and methods – from conventional household surveys to novel uses of satellite imagery – to inform decisions about expanding energy access and fostering green economic growth.

Motivated by social impact, our pragmatic approach uses clients’ aspirations and constraints as the starting point.

IDinsight incubates Giving Green, an initiative to help donors and individuals find the most effective ways to fight climate change.
