Activities
AEA develop climate change policy (focused on 'behaviour change' not industrial cutbacks) in Britain and then 'sell' it into other parts of the world and to the private sector. This appears to be aimed at saving businesses money, and they claim to have saved UK industry over £1 bn through their policy developments. 'We understand the environment and know how businesses can capitalise on what is currently the biggest challenge faced by both the private and public sectors.'[3]
