The changes in our climate are seen already today. We experience several periodically flooded areas in the towns and the open landscape as well as increased and more frequent floods that affect our coastal areas. We can counter the climate changes by implementing the right planning. A small investment today can prevent losses and needs for massive investments in the future.
NIRAS’ counselling within climate adaptation builds on cross-disciplinary solutions where planning constitutes just one of the services we can offer.
In municipal planning we work with climate adaptation from a holistic perspective. The identification of climate handling and buffer areas as well as the formulation of guidelines for climate adaptation contribute to protecting landscapes from the consequences of global warming.
At NIRAS we see the increasing precipitation as an opportunity rather than a limitation. From concrete projects we are experienced in using water as a positive element which creates a possibility of new and improved recreational areas or which constitutes an exciting element in urban development.
