Design and review of market-based instruments

RMCG has technical expertise in the design and review of market-based instruments (MBIs), particularly in the areas of water quality and biodiversity conservation.

Our expertise includes reverse auctions, offsets and revolving funds. Our skill set extends to market scoping, program design, training of assessors, delivery of information sessions, statistical analysis of results, and informing ultimate decision-making on investments.

Our team has also undertaken cost-effectiveness assessment of market-based instruments compared to other tools for environmental management, and collated benefit estimation on market-based instrument benefits in environmental management.
