Resources Future

Driving Measurable Impact Across Climate, Social & Economic Frontiers

Across the globe, both public and private sector actors are placing greater emphasis on maximizing the impact of their projects; whether social, environmental, or economic. Increasingly, initiatives aim to deliver measurable outcomes through carbon reduction, climate resilience, gender inclusion, and other critical co-benefits. Resources Future is a partner of choice for organizations seeking more than standalone reports. We support targeted policy implementation and impact- driven investments that translate strategy into action and deliver tangible benefits across the entire value chain.

8 major global supply chains contribute over 50 % of global emissions.

These include food, construction, fashion and electronics and others.

Up to 40 % of all supply chain emissions could be abated

using currently available efficiency, recycling, and clean energy approaches, indicating enormous potential for practical decarbonisation across value chains.

Women and children face disproportionate climate- related impacts

and inequality in resilience outcomes.

Our Challenge

Organisations and programmes increasingly seek climate, social and economic impacts, but lack expertise for execution on the ground. Conducting diagnostics, value-chain mapping and feasibility assessments require multidisciplinary teams and complex approaches (research, stakeholder consultations, interviews, FGDs, expert advisory). Opportunities for climate co- benefits, inclusion and financial performance are often missed or under-documented.
To address these gaps, targeted technical support and integrated assessment frameworks are essential to translate ambition into bankable, inclusive, and climate-smart interventions. By combining robust evidence, local insights, and financial analysis, organisations can better identify synergies, mitigate risks, and design interventions that deliver measurable impact while strengthening long-term sustainability and performance.

How We Help

We provide tailored impact advisory across critical sectors (such as agriculture, Green SMEs, forestry, energy), combining landscape and value-chain mapping with climate, social and financial analysis. We assess project additionality, co-benefits and scalability, refine business models, and generate practical recommendations to enhance impact, resilience and returns. All of this is supported by clear KPIs, impact narratives and decision- ready insights.
Through this integrated approach, we help organisations move from analysis to action by aligning impact objectives with commercial viability and policy priorities. Our advisory supports informed investment decisions, strengthens implementation pathways, and enables stakeholders to clearly demonstrate results, accountability, and long-term value creation across portfolios and programmes.

Our Services

Impact Strategy, PPPs & Theory of Change

We help governments and institutions define impact objectives for policies, programmes, and PPPs. Our work links public investments and partnerships to clear development, climate, and social outcomes through robust theories of change.

PFM Design & Integration

We design impact measurement frameworks that integrate with public financial management (PFM) systems. This includes aligning indicators with budgets, programmes, and results frameworks to support evidence-based decision-making.

Monitoring, Evaluation & Fiscal Risk Analysis

We support monitoring and evaluation systems that assess performance, value for money, and fiscal risks—especially for PPPs and large public investments. Our focus is on generating credible evidence to inform course correction and accountability.

Impact Reporting, Disclosure & Accountability

We help clients report impact to funders, investors, oversight bodies, and the public. This includes impact reports, dashboards, and disclosures aligned with donor requirements, PPP oversight frameworks, and international good practice.
