Governments, local authorities, regulators and many businesses need to make decisions about the best use of finite resources to optimise social welfare or benefits for people, societies, the environment and the economy.
We help societies to become more resilient or achieve the three pillar
of sustainability through combining bottom and top-down decision making
approaches under rapid socio-economic changes. Fera can help you to
understand the likely impacts and cost-effectiveness of your decisions
and actions, so you can make well-informed choices on how to deploy the
economic resources available.
-
Economic appraisals of policies and their impacts.
-
Risk and uncertainty assessments.
-
Support for public and private sector decision-makers and policy-makers.
-
Scientific evidence to optimise resources for social and environmental benefit.
Our insights and support help organisations to optimise their economic resources in a complex, rapid- changing world. We work to understand the impact of external and internal drivers of change such as consumer behaviour, patterns of global trade, climate change, etc. on both societies and the environment – providing additional layers of evidence to inform policy decisions.
We have provided multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary support for central government, Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, Forestry Commission, Food Safety Agency, Chemical Regulatory Division, Heath and Safety Executive and local authorities – offering targeted advice on the likely socio-economic and environmental impacts of decisions made centrally.
