Climate change resilience and adaptation

Climate change impacts are already projected to cost the global economy $54tr by 2040 – understanding which threats your business, community or organisation faces is now a pressing priority for everyone. Beyond climate change, organisations need to be aware of risks from a range of related issues including security threats, infrastructure failure, and social unrest.

“

Every leader knows the danger of assuming tomorrow will resemble today. Building resilience to global climate change is now a boardroom priority worldwide. ” Kaitlin Shilling Global Climate Change Resilience and Adaptation Leader

Arup’s climate resilience and adaptation team works with partners and clients across policy making, city planning, design, critical infrastructure and asset management, to ensure organisations and communities understand vulnerabilities and can become resilient to relevant threats. Our consultants use the International Panel on Climate Change’s Sixth Assessment Report (AR6 – 2021) to provide the most up-to-date and locally specific insights.

We are committed to greater equity. Our work is based on a fundamentally humane approach to design and development, where the needs of the whole community are always central to any solution. We work with clients in international bodies, national government agencies, statutory services as well as critical infrastructure providers, local authorities and commercial property owners.

For developers, we offer climate adaptive design. We help financial institutions and investors to estimate their financial exposure and test investment decisions. For governments, our science and evidence-based assessments can help leaders to explore the future of neighbourhoods, regions and cities affected by climate change. For corporations we offer detailed understanding of their physical and transitional risk related to climate and other hazards.

Whatever your precise need, we can call on Arup’s wide variety of technical experts to craft an effective solution.
