We support public administrations, multilateral organisations, utilities, development banks and other public sector bodies in the design, implementation and evaluation of strategies, regulatory frameworks, programmes and infrastructure relating to energy, climate change, the environment and the sustainable economy.

The energy transition, climate action and the shift towards more sustainable models now require increasingly sophisticated technical, institutional and financial responses. Public sector projects must not only be technically viable: they must also comply with regulatory frameworks, strategic priorities, funding requirements, institutional capacities and implementation requirements.

At Global Factor, we support public bodies on this journey with a comprehensive approach that combines strategic consultancy, independent technical assistance, engineering and project management support, and training and institutional capacity-building. We work at various levels, from the design of policies and operational frameworks to the preparation, execution and supervision of projects and infrastructure.

Our approach brings together technical expertise, international experience and the ability to deliver practical solutions in a wide range of contexts, always with a focus on implementation, governance and impact.

We support public bodies in the design, development and implementation of policies, programmes and projects relating to energy, infrastructure and the environment, combining strategic analysis, technical assistance and engineering. We work in:

• Renewable energy
• Energy efficiency
• Grids, self-consumption and distributed systems
• Energy storage
• Site and resource studies
• Technical, economic, environmental and social feasibility studies
• Property engineering services and independent technical consultancy
• Project and asset management
• Supervision, quality assurance and support for procurement and tendering processes
• Water and sanitation
• Waste management
• Air quality and emissions control
• Environmental infrastructure

We support clients throughout the strategic definition, preparation and implementation of projects, with a holistic approach that integrates planning, feasibility, procurement, supervision and results.

We help public sector organisations to design and implement strategies, programmes and projects aimed at mitigating GHG emissions, adapting to climate change and accessing climate finance. We work on:

• Climate governance and institutional frameworks (the Paris Agreement’s transparency framework)
• GHG inventories, modelling and projections, and mitigation plans
• Monitoring, reporting and verification (MRV) and monitoring and evaluation (M&E) systems
• Weather and climate modelling
• Climate risk assessments and disaster management plans
• Vulnerability, resilience and adaptation plans
• Climate-smart cities
• Climate finance strategies
• Green Climate Fund (GCF) accreditation processes
• Integration of climate targets into public programmes and budgets

We tackle climate change from a public policy and implementation perspective, helping to translate commitments and objectives into concrete, fundable and sustainable actions over time.

We support public bodies in processes of economic transformation, institutional strengthening and the modernisation of sectoral frameworks to move towards more competitive, sustainable and integrated models. We work on:

• Circular economy and blue economy
• Private sector development
• Quality infrastructure
• Regulatory harmonisation
• Trade facilitation and customs
• Food security and sanitary and phytosanitary systems
• Digital transformation
• Institutional strengthening and modernisation of public capacities

This approach enables us to address sustainability from a broad perspective, linking regulation, competitiveness, sectoral transformation and economic development with tangible impact.

• European Commission
• Multilateral organisations and development banks
• National, regional and local authorities
• Utilities and public bodies in the energy sector
• Public agencies and regulatory bodies
