Making Environmental Decisions Better
RPA has substantial experience in environmental policy, with hundreds of projects having been conducted across a plethora of environmental policy fields.

Our work focuses on supporting decision-makers at local, national and international level make evidence-based policy decisions, through evaluation, analysis, appraisal, impact assessment, as well as through mixed methods approaches to data collection using both primary (engagement) and secondary (existing data) sources.
