Climate change is here, and naval ports, and other facilities are already feeling its effects. Changes are happening fast, and the challenges presented by climate change require new perspectives and innovative solutions. Building resilience is essential to continue serving your fleet.
However fast carbon emissions fall, sea levels are now certain to rise – and climate hazards will become more frequent, unpredictable and severe – for many decades to come. Wherever you are in the world, your naval infrastructure will need to adapt to remain operational.
At Royal HaskoningDHV, we recognize that navigating climate change is not just about reducing emissions - it's about creating adaptive systems that ensure the longevity and health of our communities, ecosystems, and economies.
We therefore develop our solutions, mindful of the processes that regulate the stability and resilience of natural and social systems, also known as earth’s planetary boundaries. By being mindful of this framework, and with a strategical focus on climate change, we apply our knowledge and deliver value. This contributes to the ‘bigger picture’, allowing current and future generations and societies to thrive.
To make the right adaptions, you need to understand your base’s specific climate risk. And with constantly evolving regulations and government targets, knowing the best way to protect your assets, infrastructure, and operations for the future can be difficult.
We need to build resilience against climate change today, so we can continue to deliver support advantage to navies and coastguards tomorrow.
We’ll help you prepare to navigate the climate challenges to your specific site – creating a plan to protect your entire facility:
