The clients have ranged from internal partners like the Office of Sustainability at Chapman University (available above), to the Anaheim Ducks and the City of Costa Mesa. Topics covered range from energy use to transportation and waste management, to utilizing nature based solutions (NbS) to tackle climate change impacts in local cities.
