Climate resilience
Adapting to a changing climate requires more than protection. It calls for regeneration. With nature as a partner, we help turn climate risk into an opportunity for lasting resilience and shared prosperity.
Nature-based solutions that benefit people and biodiversity
As climate risks intensify, the way we design and manage our environments will not only determine ecological health but also economic stability, social cohesion, and long-term competitiveness.
Nature-based solutions help close this gap by reducing flood risk, cooling urban areas, protecting biodiversity, and driving regenerative growth. Integrating natural systems into infrastructure can empower societies to lower the costs of climate impacts, attract sustainable investment, and create spaces where both people and ecosystems thrive. Climate change adaptation approaches strengthen resilience at every scale, supporting the development of more adaptative communities that embrace social and cultural diversity while creating opportunities for regeneration and growth.
Let’s shape societies that adapt, evolve, and thrive.
New publication: Reimagining urban waterfronts for resilience
EXPERT INSIGHTS ON CLIMATE RESILIENCE STRATEGIES
For thousands of years, humans have turned deltas, rivers, coasts, and other waterfronts into dense urban areas. But climate change and extreme weather are challenging the ways in which we interact with water. Now is the time to work with nature, not against it, according to Ramboll’s Neil Goring and Simon Kates, both experts in water infrastructure and integrated urban design.
Ramboll Water and Henning Larsen recently joined forces to explore a new paradigm where water is treated as a stakeholder within the design process. We caught up with Trine Stausgaard Munk, Head of Sustainability at Ramboll Water, to understand how this thought-provoking publication came about.
Science is clear. Climate change is real, it is here, and it is accelerated by human activity.
