Energy, Infrastructure & Transportation
In the face of climate change and complex energy transitions, Abt Global supports and invests in solutions for clean energy, resilient infrastructure, and sustainable transportation. We mitigate methane emissions. We electrify health facilities. We conduct thorough environmental and economic policy analyses. We facilitate green investments. We lead the industry in measuring and modeling greenhouse gas emissions and helping countries meet their climate commitments. With our collaborators--governments, utilities, investors, developers, and communities--we facilitate just energy transitions, establish circular economies, decarbonize infrastructure and industry, improve energy efficiency, and advance low emission development. We set these same goals for ourselves to help build a sustainable, equitable future for all.
