Climate Risk & Adaptation

Storms and floods make up two-thirds of natural disasters worldwide, and their frequency is expected to rise due to human-driven climate change.

With our expertise, we assist clients and communities in understanding the impacts of climate change, supporting mitigation efforts, and developing strategies to strengthen resilience against these increasing natural hazards. Climate change brings a variety of complex challenges, and we offer customized services to help our clients navigate its broad implications and understand what it means for their communities and organizations.

Climate Risk Assessment

  • Understanding the risks that climate change poses to your community is the critical first step toward building resilience and adapting effectively.

  • Our climate risk assessment services identify and evaluate potential climate impacts, offering comprehensive analyses to guide informed decision-making.

  • These assessments help clients prioritize actions that mitigate risks and strengthen their climate resilience.

  • Our in-house geospatial experts also assist in creating Risk Portals — digital platforms that allow communities to access information on identified natural disaster risks and learn actionable steps to reduce these risks.

Adaptation Planning

  • Climate adaptation plans are essential for safeguarding lives, habitats, and critical infrastructure during climate events.

  • We support clients in protecting natural resources, and vital infrastructure, and mitigating climate risks like flooding and erosion.

  • Our comprehensive plans enable clients to shift from reactive to proactive strategies, preparing for the environmental impacts of climate change.

  • Our on-site water team designs and oversees the construction of small-scale water and wastewater systems for communities, businesses, and facilities, ensuring continuous water access even in worst-case scenarios.

Carbon Reduction

  • Mitigate the impacts of climate change at their source.

  • By reducing greenhouse gas emissions, we can help limit rising temperatures and the frequency of extreme weather events.

  • At AJEC, our multidisciplinary expertise in environmental science, engineering, and sustainability allows us to take a holistic approach to understanding your organization’s carbon footprint.

  • We provide tailored strategies to guide you on the path to effective carbon reduction and a more sustainable future.

Flood Modelling

  • Our precise flood modelling services offer detailed simulations of potential flood scenarios, enabling us to identify environmental vulnerabilities before they become critical.

  • By leveraging advanced geospatial tools, we collect, analyse, and visualize hydrological data to model where flow paths and storm-water assets are most at risk.

  • This allows us to prioritize asset renewals, and upgrades, and implement nature-based solutions that effectively mitigate flooding.

Flood Response

  • AJEC is well-versed in delivering emergency work when critical community infrastructure depends on our expertise and timely engineering solutions.

  • As specialists in water and environmental engineering, we are fully equipped to respond to emergency situations following storms, floods, and other climate-related events.

  • Our approach prioritizes environmentally responsible methods, particularly in ecologically sensitive areas, to repair damaged, burst, exposed, or contaminated water assets.

  • Beyond immediate repairs, we also focus on renewing and upgrading infrastructure to reduce the risk of future flooding and ensure long-term resilience.
