What we offer

What we offer

For ministries, international organisations, foundations and research institutions: we help you prepare decisions on climate adaptation, transformation and climate diplomacy – with the right people, sound evidence and a clear path to implementation.

Services

How we can support you.

Six ways to work with ERI – from a single expert statement to a full science–policy process.

01 · Science networks

Science networks & processes

We identify the expertise a question needs, assemble interdisciplinary science teams and coordinate the process through to a joint, policy-ready synthesis.

Example: Santa Marta Academic Dialogue · SMART report

02 · Decision support

Decision support

We map how climate risks, finance, governance, energy and development interact – so decisions address the system, not just a single sector.

Systems thinking · Risks & dependencies · Decision points

03 · Science for planning

Scientific input to planning

We are not a planning office – we strengthen planning. We review existing plans with a systems perspective and bring in the right scientific expertise from our network, connecting evidence with local realities.

Holistic review · Scientific expertise · Adaptation & resilience

04 · Expert statements

Expert statements

Independent, evidence-based statements and assessments for public authorities, parliaments and consultation processes.

Public bodies · Consultations · Scientific assessment

05 · Facilitation

Facilitation & strategic dialogue

We design and moderate dialogues between science, policy and practice – from expert roundtables to multi-stakeholder workshops.

Example: The Hague Roundtable on Climate & Security

06 · Advisory

Advisory

Strategic advice on transition pathways, climate security and climate diplomacy – including preparation for international negotiations and conferences.

Transformation · Climate diplomacy · International processes

How we work

Bottom-up, fast and focused.

No ministerial chains of command, no multi-year approval cycles: we form around a concrete question and get to work.

Step 1

Understand the question

We start with the people, institutions and realities already shaping the system – and identify relationships, risks and decision points.

Step 2

Bring the right people together

We assemble the expertise the question needs, across disciplines, regions and knowledge systems – including local and Indigenous knowledge.

Step 3

Feed results into decisions

We translate results into formats decision-makers can use and feed them into ministries, international institutions and negotiation processes.

Auf Deutsch

Für Kommunen, Landkreise und Behörden in Deutschland.

Wir arbeiten auch auf Deutsch – für Städte, Gemeinden, Landkreise und Landesbehörden, die Klimaanpassung und Transformation vor Ort umsetzen.

  • Bürgerbeteiligung: Konzeption und Moderation von Beteiligungsformaten – von Workshops bis zu Zukunftswerkstätten
  • Ganzheitliche Überprüfung bestehender Fachplanungen: Wir prüfen Konzepte zu Klimaanpassung, Energie oder Stadtentwicklung auf Wechselwirkungen, Zielkonflikte und blinde Flecken
  • Aufbau und Begleitung von Netzwerken: Vernetzung mit Wissenschaft, Fachstellen und anderen Kommunen
  • Förderanträge: Vorbereitung und Erstellung von Anträgen bei der EU, beim Bund und bei weiteren Fördermittelgebern
  • Wissenschaftliche Begleitung von Planungen und Stellungnahmen für öffentliche Träger – bei Bedarf gemeinsam mit passenden Fachwissenschaftler*innen aus unserem Netzwerk
