Multiple stresses affect our planet's ecosystems. Senior decision-makers and environmental managers, particularly in developing countries, are faced with enormous challenges as they address existing pollution problems and attempt to protect the environment from the stresses of urban, industrial, and rural development. With over 20 years of global experience, ESSA understands these challenges and has become well known for designing creative solutions and approaches to environmental problems associated with development and resource depletion. We address both bio-physical and human dimensions of environmental problems, whether we are developing scientifically defensible impact assessments, tackling broad-scale planning and policy issues, or building analytical tools for impact prediction and resource management.

Our experienced specialists work with clients to assess needs, design appropriate tools and training, conduct analyses, generate information, and develop plans that will support sustainable development objectives. Our participatory approach to problem-solving ensures the results will be effective and meet real needs.
