Integrating climate and environmental issues into regional activities
Hazard levels are set to change as climate change brings more intense and more frequent rainfall, longer and more regular droughts, and so on. These phenomena must be integrated into risk assessment and new measures must be adopted to reduce urban and regional vulnerability.
We work with you to reduce
flood or marine submersion risks through coastal development measures or specific protection infrastructure. We also implement development strategies for urban areas and regions through strategic shoreline planning or withdrawal, for example.
In a context of
ever-increasing water scarcity, we work with you to develop measures for the protection and the management of water resources, but also to deal with urban and agricultural issues (drinking water supply, REUSE, infiltration, treatment, etc.).
Urban heat island effects are intensified by climate change and are a risk that must be managed in urban areas. We work with you to understand such effects and to develop measures to reduce them, including integration into urban planning and greening.
Our teams work with you to develop the best solutions for your region, from feasibility studies to implementation, in order to reduce regional vulnerability:
- Risk mapping
- Modelling of events and impacts
- Urban strategies integrating risk management
- Action programmes and development plans
- Technical and economic studies
- Design and works supervision of protection infrastructure
- Capacity building
- Design and implementation of information systems
- Information and awareness raising
In 2019, SCE signed the Engineering for Climate Charter alongside other Syntec Ingénierie members. (link). We are also actively involved in several networks and think tanks, including Comité 21, the Sustainable Cities working group led by the French environment and energy agency ADEME, the Ruptur association and Western Responsible Leaders.
