Climate resilience depends on wholistic approaches to risk management. Our work strives to achieve a balance between:
- Adaptation to be more resilient to climate events.
- Integration of adaptation into existing finance and governance systems
- Sensitivity to the environment, and social systems
- Finding ways to build adaptation into other strategic opportunities
I believe resilience is not simply a cost we have to bear. It is also an opportunity to make us safer, more environmentally aware, and competitive, as we move forward into an uncertain future.
I help clients over a wide spectrum of tasks. With many years of professional experience, I have gained many skills. I can help you:
- Assess and respond to climate risks and opportunities
- Train you and your team on how to deal with climate risks
- Prepare action plans
- Develop guides and policies to streamline your work
- Identify risk treatment options
- Build resilience into day-to-day tasks
