about us.

Shared Planet was founded to help organisations to deliver positive social and environmental impact by providing research, analysis and stakeholder engagement support. We work primarily with civil society organisations, academic institutions and IGOs and governments on social, cultural, economic and environmental issues. 

​

Our name is anchored in our belief that we must reorient human society and culture to prioritise living in harmony with nature by allowing biodiversity to thrive, embracing de-growth and supporting a nature-positive approach to the economy that is inclusive and exists within planetary boundaries, and working for the betterment of all people. We work with clients that share our values and are seeking to drive progressive change. 

​

Our clients are organisations seeking to resolve significant challenges or drive transformational change, which requires taking a multi-stakeholder approach to collaboration and dialogue. Our team offers a range of stakeholder engagement and analytical consulting services that help clients to understand scientific perspectives and recommendations, the issue and policy landscape, and the most important stakeholders to engage to inform their organisational strategy and delivery.

Our Values

We are a values-led organisation, and are driven by our desire to make a positive contribution, be our best professional selves and constantly improve and progress. There are many things that are important to us as a team, but these three values unite us and define how we approach our work as individuals and collectively.  

Striving for excellence and achieving high standards is what we are all about. We deliver outstanding work and exceed our clients' expectations. Our ambition is to be the best in our field and deliver the greatest impact for ourselves and our clients. We pursue excellence in our work because we care about the success of our projects, believing that support should be done comprehensively and collaboratively.

Embracing intellectual curiosity and learning is our way of life — not just something we do at work. We want to learn and know everything about everything. A passion for knowledge, a curiosity to uncover, and endless learning enhances our professional development and contributes to the overall success and progress of our team and our clients. Everybody wins.

Practising kindness, compassion, and generosity are critical attributes that create a positive and supportive professional environment and makes us who we are. We are all about positive energy, seeing the glass as half-full, giving people the benefit of the doubt and doing the right thing by others whenever we have the opportunity.

Our Practice Areas

As a team, we are committed to playing our part in helping others solve systemic social and environmental issues. We structure our business not around industry, but around other stakeholders critical to the issues we want to solve. As a business, we actively pursue client work, long-term and short-term projects and volunteering opportunities that allow us to make an impact across our specialised practice areas.

PRACTICE AREA

We are facing a global triple challenge: tackling climate change, reversing biodiversity loss, and promoting the well-being of the planet’s population. Addressing this challenge requires collaboration among various stakeholders, including international organisations, government and public sectors, private industry, civil society, and local communities. At Shared Planet, we aim to facilitate this collaboration through a range of services, including stakeholder mapping, coordination, communication support, analysis and research, as well as developing guidelines to ensure that decision-making related to climate and nature includes all affected stakeholders.

 

Shared Planet possesses a deep understanding of international climate and nature frameworks, including agreements under the UNFCCC, such as the Kyoto Protocol and the Paris Agreement, as well as the Convention on Biological Diversity and the subsequent Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF). Our experience includes creating knowledge products for clients to share and inform discussions at the respective Conferences of the Parties (COP). We also analyse and provide policy recommendations for UNFCCC and CBD submissions, particularly focusing on Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) and National Biodiversity Action Plans (NBSAPs).

 

Shared Planet also provides supporting materials for NGOs and corporations to use in designing projects related to mitigating the impacts of climate change and biodiversity loss. We have created guidelines and frameworks for rights-based approaches to nature and climate action that uphold Indigenous rights, particularly the right to Free Prior and Informed Consent (FPIC), and promote the inclusion of other marginalised groups (local community members, women, youth) often left out of decision-making.

Working with a coalition of five environmental groups, Shared Planet grasped the complexity of the European Elections 2024 and its different policy areas. They helped us to get to the bottom of how the EU green policies impacts citizens positively in their daily lives - from wildlife regeneration in the Fagaras Mountains in Romania to safe school environments in Pamplona, Northern Spain — in a concise yet detailed report.
