Nature-based solutions

Rapidly evolving challenges such as climate change and increased flood risk require innovative approaches and solutions. Our focus is on those that are sustainable, environmentally friendly, and use the power of nature to provide the greatest benefit to society as a whole.

At Royal HaskoningDHV, working with and alongside nature to augment and improve natural systems is an integral part of our mission to enhance society together.

We’ve spent years planning and designing nature-based solutions to help reduce carbon impacts, boost climate resilience, and make the world a safer and more sustainable place. And we’re always looking for opportunities to help our clients do the same.

By incorporating natural processes into design and construction, we’ve been able to improve coastal safety, water quality, and the standard of life in urban and coastal areas worldwide.

Supported by a deep understanding of natural environments, our holistic, nature-based approach allows us to create enduring solutions to modern challenges. Solutions that are sustainable and cost-effective, and improve the livelihoods of people, the quality of places, and the biodiversity of our planet.
