Climate Resilience Assessment Study

Climate Resilience Assessment Study

Climate change is no longer a future scenario. Floods, heatwaves, prolonged droughts and extreme weather events are already affecting the safety, operation and cost of projects.

The Climate Resilience Assessment Study (Climate Proofing) ensures that a project is designed to withstand the climate conditions of the coming decades and contributes to climate neutrality objectives.

When is it required? 

The study is now a key requirement for: 

  • Environmental permitting of projects and activities. 
  • Funding of infrastructure projects through European and national programmes (NSRF 2021–2027, Recovery and Resilience Facility, etc.). 
  • Projects with a long lifespan, such as energy, road, hydraulic and building infrastructure. 

What does it include? 

The study is carried out in accordance with the European Commission’s Technical Guidance on the climate-proofing of infrastructure (2021–2027 period) and the applicable national regulatory framework. It covers two main pillars. 

Climate Change Mitigation Calculation of the project's carbon footprint (greenhouse gas emissions). 

Documentation of the project's alignment with the objective of achieving climate neutrality by 2050. 

Climate Change Adaptation 

Analysis of the project's sensitivity, exposure and vulnerability to climate risks. 

Climate risk assessment based on future climate scenarios. 

Proposal and evaluation of adaptation measures to strengthen resilience. 

Our Approach 

1. Project Assessment: We examine the project's characteristics, location and expected lifespan. 

2. Risk Analysis: We identify the climate risks relevant to the specific project and its geographical area. 

3. Preparation of the Study: We prepare the mitigation and adaptation study, providing comprehensive documentation. 

4. Support Through Approval: We guide you throughout the submission process and assist with the project's permitting or funding procedures.
