Climate change is now affecting every country on every continent, and mitigating climate change and its impacts will require global commitment, enormous resources and innovative ideas and processes. Danish consulting engineers contribute to the fight against climate change when working with national and local governments to adapt to and mitigate the significant impacts of climate change, including changing weather patterns, rising sea levels and extreme weather events. We work with national and local governments to strengthen resilience and adaptive capacity to climate-related hazards and natural disasters, to integrate climate change measures into national policies, strategies and planning, and to institutional strengthening and capacity building on climate adaptation, mitigation and impact reduction, etc.
PROJECT: FINANCING LOW CARBON, CLIMATE RESILIENT INFRASTRUCTURE IN ASIA AND THE PACIFIC
Ramboll has been working with the Asian Development Bank to develop a methodology to predict climate impacts on urban infrastructure as well as predict the carbon profiles of cities. Ramboll’s approach has put an emphasis upon the use of an “archetype city” with the specific cities being Tbilisi, Ulaanbaatar, Ho Chi Minh City, Suva, Dhaka, and Mandalay. For each of the cities, infrastructure and climate vulnerability have been assessed and investment needs prioritised.
