Climate change is already happening. Changes are happening fast, and the challenges presented by climate change require new perspectives and innovative solutions. While reducing emissions might slow it down, extreme weather events are becoming more frequent, unpredictable and intense, and sea level will continue to rise – for many decades to come. Wherever you are in the world, your port or terminal will need to adapt.
The changing climate will affect every aspect of your port – not just the physical structures, but your supply chain, stakeholders, workforce, and customer base. Plus, the long lifecycles of maritime assets and infrastructure mean investments need to be resilient far into the future.
We have the hazard data, maritime experience, and adaptation know-how to help you improve your climate resilience. From wave overtopping, flooding, and storms to the effect of heat stress on your workforce, we’ll help you see the whole picture.
Our global climate resilience portfolio includes flood defences, nature-based adaptation, and climate-smart forecasting, policies, and plans. We’ll help you understand your current position – and make smart, informed decisions about how best to prepare for the changing climate.
We can help you understand climate change and the hazards and risks it will bring for your particular site – creating the right plan and adopting the best solutions at every stage of your facility’s lifecycle:
