If we are to be able to meet the climate challenges we face, we need a solid plan for handling different scenarios. This includes, among other things, floods, landslides and heavy rainfall. To succeed with climate adaptation, we must understand the consequences of a changing climate. Then we can implement the right measures that reduce the potential for damage.
People's safety, the protection of nature and socio-economic considerations form the basis for planning a climate-resilient society. Knowledge of climate risk must be included in spatial plans and early in the project phase. Good spatial planning and a holistic approach to climate adaptation are the key to preventing damage and creating good societies that are adapted to the climate of the future. This also includes using nature-based solutions.
Collaboration and interaction between the players in the industry are necessary to achieve a climate-resilient society. Together, we find good solutions across planning boundaries, municipal borders and projects. We believe in a holistic approach to climate adaptation, based on the assessment of climate risk and vulnerability. This will provide us with new opportunities and create added value for society.
