Preventing climate hazards, reducing regional vulnerability, protecting inhabitants and preserving biodiversity
Flooding, marine submersion, erosion, heat and cold waves... The effects of climate change and the deterioration of weather events cannot be overlooked.
Construction growth and sprawl in coastal areas or along rivers increase the vulnerability of places, and certain land uses clearly raise flood risks due to river overflow or runoff.
We work with public and private clients in assessing, preventing and adapting to natural hazards. We mobilise our expertise to anticipate and prevent risks, and protect citizens and their property. We also work to reduce regional vulnerability for the purpose of preserving biodiversity.
Facilitating sustainable hazard management
Our work involves preparing development strategies and setting up governance mechanisms to ensure that regional policies take into account natural hazards from the earliest stage. Our teams elaborate prevention plans, specific action plans and produce the necessary guidelines to strengthen institutional capacity to manage climate change impacts and deal with emergencies in the event of natural disasters.
We also work with clients on communication and awareness-raising initiatives for local stakeholders and citizens. Risk awareness remains a key measure in securing property and people.
