Mirador works both independently and with a network of specialists to complete projects and assignments following an interdisciplinary approach.

The company's clients include: commercial and development banks, insurers / investors, technology producers, project developers, consulting groups and UN agencies.

Studies such as Financial Risk Management Instruments for Renewable Energy Projects (United Nations Environment Programme - UNEP) have won grants for long-term public-private research and development initiatives that resulted in producing new risk management products to offer lenders and project developers. Ongoing projects include "Climate Change: Risks & Opportunities for the Financial Sector", a training and certification course (managed by the UNEP Finance Initiative) and independent research related to sustainable systems.
