Climate Change Adaptation

We help build climate resilience through nature-based solutions and circular water management.

The value

Climate change adaptation measures, nature-based solutions, and water management.

Our service

Cities, settlements, and critical infrastructures are suffering from natural hazards exacerbated by climate change, such as extreme heat, droughts, and flood risks. Nature-based solutions can treat water sources for reuse purposes, such as irrigation. Intensive greening and bioretention systems can simultaneously retain and treat stormwater, while also cooling down the urban environment. Soil and water bioengineering can be applied to stabilise slopes. Systemic approaches to circular water and fertiliser management can be designed to enhance the climate resilience and productivity of agricultural production, or to protect landscapes from the impacts of temperature rises and droughts.
