Climate Negotiations and Diplomacy

Service Overview

In the pivotal domain of climate negotiations and diplomacy, we offer a range of services built on over 25 years of uninterrupted participation in the global climate change discourse.

Perspectives’ experts have supported several governments and non-governmental organisations to prepare for and engage in UNFCCC sessions. Examples are the governments of Germany, Morocco, Mexico, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and Tunisia. 

Our overarching objective is to facilitate international agreement on ambitious climate policy by providing technical inputs, proposing pragmatic compromises and considering the legitimate interests of all key stakeholder groups. 

We are proud to offer an extensive suite of services meticulously designed to empower governments, NGOs, and various organisations in navigating the complexities of climate negotiations.
