Beyond Greenwashing: Proven Strategies to Protect Infrastructure from Climate Risk - ERP Spain.com - España y América Latina

What can infrastructure companies do to adapt to climate change — and how do we know what actually works? The ClimaTech project was designed to answer this question with a structured, research-driven approach to physical risk mitigation and adaptation. While climate risks are widely acknowledged, there is still no comprehensive, sector-specific tool that links infrastructure type and exposure to the most impactful strategies for reducing risk. This leaves decision-makers without the granular, asset-level insights needed to take meaningful action. Backed by two years of research and nine peer-reviewed publications, ClimaTech fills this critical gap. It offers the first comprehensive database of 103 strategies spanning both decarbonisation (Scopes 1, 2, and 3) and physical risks (floods, storms, heat, and wildfires) along with an assessment of thier to their application to diffreent infrastructure types, strategy effectiveness, thier key enabling technologies and protection levels. These strategies are assessed across 101 infrastructure types, resulting in more than 1,800 evaluated applications. What will we show? We’ll demonstrate how ClimaTech brings together scientific reviews, technical documentation, and real-world examples in an interactive tool (currently in development). The platform allows users to explore what works, for which company types, and for which risks. Sectors in focus We’ll highlight examples from transport and water treatment, where climate risks are acute and adaptation pathways are diverse. Use case We’ll share a practical case study to illustrate how ClimaTech insights support infrastructure risk analysis , using publicly available data to keep the focus transparent and actionable. Join us to explore what infrastructure resilience to transition and physical risks looks like when it's objective, systematic, measurable and science-based.
