Increasing investments in sustainable environmental planning and development has provided growth opportunities for consulting services. Investors now-a-days are much more interested to invest in a company, which is actively providing solutions to sustainability challenges rather than focusing on harmful products such as tobacco, etc. Moreover, regulators are expected to start policing ‘responsible funding’ to promote sustainable investments. Governing authorities of countries are introducing various plans to increase the responsible investments. For instance, the DRAFT ACT Natural Resources Management Investment Plan of Australia has been put together by ACT Natural Resource Management (ACT NRM) in partnership with the community to determine current and future investment priorities for the ACT and region.

Recent Developments:

  • In March 2020, ERM, a consultancy that provides innovative solutions to sustainability challenges acquired M.J. Bradley & Associates LLC (MJB&A), a specialist energy, climate change and sustainability advisory company that provides strategic policy & regulatory advice on low carbon energy transition. With the acquisition of MJB&A, ERM plans to enhance its capability to operationalize sustainability through its corporate sustainability, climate change services and technical & operational air quality/climate change work.
  • In January 2019, global management consulting firm, A.T. Kearney, acquired business analytics and data management consultancy, Cervello. Cervello’s team of 120 data engineers, data scientists, and developers – some of whom are based in London – will work with A.T. Kearney’s consultants to bolster client performance and transformation programs.

Restraint:

Decreasing stringency on policies and regulations on climate change and carbon emissions

Federal agencies use social cost of carbon (SCC) to evaluate the economic harm caused by releasing more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and increase in global warming. The Obama administration estimated this cost per ton to be around US$ 50 by 2020 post adjusting inflation, which led to implementation of stringent regulation regarding harmful gases emissions. However, the current Trump administration argues with the aforementioned facts stated by previous administration and stated that each ton of carbon dioxide emitted by a car or a coal plant in 2020 would only cost US$ 1 to US$ 7 in monetary loss, as the Obama administration considered the impact within the boundaries of the U.S. and not internationally. However, refusing to control carbon emissions in the U.S. can negatively impact the response from other countries, which may also relax their legislations on carbon emissions. This can result in increased global warming and drastic climate change.

Global Climate Change Consulting Market- Impact of Coronavirus (Covid-19) Pandemic:

The rapid outbreak of COVID-19 across the globe has significantly affected all industries globally. The situation caused significant deterioration in economic conditions and the government had to shut down commercial as well as educational sectors for a specific period. Strict containment measures have resulted in a drop of economic activities, the business environment of many organizations has changed. For instance, the ongoing and planned projects of construction, mining, and other industries have been delayed, or canceled. Due to lockdown, projects consulting projects were either postponed or canceled which impacted the business of consulting service providers.

On the other hand, COVID-19 has brought about short-term environmental benefits as a temporary reduction in carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases, as people were forced to stay at home and industries such as mining, construction, and textiles remained closed for a period.
