Case study

Development projects prepared for the climate ahead

Challenge

Development projects face risks from climate variability and change, and those risks need to be identified before investing.

We supported the IDB on Climate Proofing, an initiative to identify those risks and reduce them to acceptable levels through lasting changes.

An approach built on changes that are economically viable, socially acceptable and in harmony with the environment.
