Climate

Responsible and future-proof development of regions, sites and properties taking climate change into account

Observations and forecasting models agree that we will experience extreme weather phenomena such as heat waves, droughts and heavy rainfall with increasing regularity. Reducing the resulting risks requires careful and responsible planning and development of landscapes, residential areas, properties, sites, infrastructure and objects.

• Our multidisciplinary team of generalists and experts supports clients from the private and public sectors. Our services include, for example
• Analysis of climate risks and measures at regional, site and property level (heat development, flooding, surface water runoff via measurement and modelling)
• Climate check for municipalities: Assessment and recommendations for action in the context of existing cantonal and federal strategies, action plans and tools
• Solutions for climate-adapted spatial and settlement development, such as sponge city concepts, regional water resource management, biodiversity solutions
• Natural hazard management taking climate scenarios into account
