eftec, the leading environmental economics consultancy in the UK, provides economic analysis for sound, effective and sustainable environmental policy and management.

Since 1992, we have been collaborating with environmental scientists, engineers and market researchers to:

• generate and interpret qualitative and quantitative evidence on the benefits provided by the environment and cultural heritage, and on the costs of their degradation such as air and water pollution, biodiversity loss, climate change, coastal erosion, and others
• conduct cost benefit and cost effectiveness analyses that reflect social preferences for environmental policies, major infrastructure projects, flood prevention, and remediation of contaminated land and groundwater among others
• design and review green taxes, tradable permits and voluntary agreements in waste management, agriculture, and in the control of air and water pollution, and
• provide training in all aspects of environmental economics.

In 2004, we set up the UK Network of Environmental Economists (UKNEE), which holds regular seminars and the annual conference on applied environmental economics, envecon, with growing attendance from the UK and around the world.
