Climate Change and Sustainability Services

Wild Beacon Consulting exists to make the process of climate philanthropy and scientific due diligence easier.

There is a lot of climate information out there and it’s hard to separate the real problems from the passing trends and the real solutions from the greenwashing. We’re here to filter out the noise, help find the solutions that matter the most to you and your values, and help you feel confident in your climate strategy.

Think of Wild Beacon Consulting as your science and sustainability strategist.

Here are three main buckets of what we work on. Don’t feel like what you need falls in one of these buckets? No problem - we love learning something new!

  • Due Diligence and Strategy

    You know you want to give money to the climate, but you don’t know where to start. That’s where we come in. Whether you are thinking of making a nonprofit donation or a for-profit investment, we will look into the scientific merits and climate impacts of specific investments as well as help with overall portfolio giving strategies.

  • Sustainability and ESG

    If you want to lower the carbon, water, or plastic footprint of your company, or meet your current or future ESG goals, we are here to help. From helping evaluate the sustainability of current processes or supply chains to looking at future climate forecasts and carbon offsets, we can help futureproof your business together.

  • Scientific Research

    Need a scientist for hire for a grant or project? Need to know how climate change will affect your business but don’t have time to dive into the research? We’ve got you covered. Whether’s it’s for a scientific project, a science communication strategy, or a potential investment where you need deeper scientific research, we’re at your service.
