Resilience Planning and Strategy

PREPARE, RESPOND AND BUILD RESILIENCE TO SHOCKS AND STRESSORS.

CapabilitiesServicesInsightsProjects

Addressing the highest-risk areas and implementing reactive responses to climate change impacts are only one part of the resilience-building process.

To adequately respond to the changing risk landscape, companies, asset managers and governments need to integrate resilience-thinking at all levels of decision-making. Actions to build resilience can include changes to operations, policies and standards, training and education, technical and design solutions and more. Selecting the most effective actions provides a roadmap to increase resilience to a changing climate, while reducing costs, risks and damages over the long term.

Featured Capabilities

WSP’s experts in climate science, engineering, public policy and business work collaboratively to provide practical measures to help you adapt. We have extensive experience developing climate resilience strategies for all sectors, using nationally recognized frameworks such as the Task Force for Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) and innovative tools such as the Adaptation Decision-making Assessment Process (ADAP).

Our approach is scalable, helping build resilience at the system- and asset-levels, across regional portfolios and communities. We help our clients integrate climate-informed decision-making into existing structures and processes so they can lock in resilience for the long term.

Monitoring and Evaluation

Our team provides metrics and targets to track progress towards overall resilience goals, as well as action-specific metrics to measure the effectiveness of each plan element. We can also assess how your risk management and resilience strategies fare against different climate impacts and through the transition to a low-carbon economy.
