Furthermore, DGA has a history of building bridges between businesses, governments, and non-profit organizations to make our clients’ projects even more successful. DGA maintains a focus on key issues and sectors of particular concern to non-profits and foundations involved in climate and energy issues, including:

• Climate Change
  Climate science and policy are evolving rapidly in the United States and abroad, creating new markets and creating opportunities for innovative approaches to land use, energy use, and energy production. DGA offers top-level climate change expertise with experience in policy formation at the international, national, state, and local levels.
  
  
• Electricity & Energy Efficiency
  Evolving climate change and clean air rules at all levels of government — combined with changing electricity markets — are forcing power companies and policy makers to navigate unfamiliar waters to reach a clean energy future. Energy efficiency is increasingly being recognized as the “first choice” in carbon mitigation, and solar, wind, and other clean energy technologies (including the “smart grid”) are playing a growing role. DGA helps its clients plot a course through this uncharted territory, bringing to bear decades of expertise with key economic, environmental, and regulatory trends in the electricity industry.
  
  
• Transportation & Land Use
  Driven by population growth and limited financial resources, many cities are pursuing smart transportation and land use policies to reduce traffic congestion, curb emissions, and save energy. These cities recognize that the past approach of simply building more road capacity is not environmentally, socially, or economically sustainable. DGA has extensive experience with the “three-legged stool” of fuels, vehicle efficiency, and vehicle miles traveled, as well as related land-use strategies.
  
  
• Financial Markets & Investors
  Driven by mounting evidence that proactive management of social and environmental issues improves performance and enhances shareholder value, investors are increasingly demanding superior corporate responsibility. DGA informs critical investment decisions with timely, tailored social and environmental performance data and analysis, allowing our clients to assess deficiencies and uncover hidden strengths. DGA’s team brings expertise in business management, governmental regulation, environmental and energy risk assessment, and corporate responsibility.
