Environment

Ross Strategic has deep experience helping clients manage the complex challenges related to environmental issues. We provide analytic, stakeholder process management, strategy development, and facilitation support to help clients respond boldly, creatively, and effectively to their challenges.

• Climate Change and Resilience: We work with local, state and federal agencies and their partners to develop policies and approaches that mitigate greenhouse gas emissions from all sectors and create communities that are resilient to a changing climate.
• Air: We help clients address the human and ecosystem health impacts of air pollutants, air toxics, and greenhouse gas emissions.
• Waste and Cleanup: We help federal and state agencies address regulatory requirements related to the management of hazardous waste, improve communication and coordination between state and federal agencies on the cleanup of radioactive waste, document national trends in waste generation and management, and help to develop new waste minimization and materials use/reuse strategies.
• Water: We help water utilities improve management effectiveness and plan for more sustainable water infrastructure and help stakeholders examine issues of water availability and reuse. We assist state and federal agencies in solving issues related to water quality standards and provide support for international organizations examining issues of water supply and global demand. Our experience includes helping establish institutions to protect major aquatic ecosystems such as the Great Lakes, Puget Sound, and the Great Salt Lake.
