Climate change adaptation
Extreme weather, droughts and floods are some examples of how climate change is already affecting our world. Future changes will have serious consequences, and climate change adaptation is essential for reducing society's vulnerability.
IVL conducts research and assignments to increase knowledge about the impact of climate change adaptation. By adapting communities and economies and making them more resilient to climate change, we can reduce the need for urgent and costly measures in the future and contribute to long-term sustainable development.
Climate change adaptation can also provide opportunities for innovation, economic growth and improved urban planning, which can benefit current and future generations. IVL offers expertise and research experience in climate change adaptation through strategic support and analyses to help our clients and partners make the right decisions and develop their operations and businesses.
A selection of projects where IVL is working with climate change adaptation
Resource-efficient and resilient cities
In the Recreate project, IVL is working together with leading universities and research institutes from Sweden, Austria and China to create sustainable cities. The goal is to identify opportunities for cities to promote circular economies and long-term sustainability.
A comprehensive approach to climate change
A newly launched EU project will take a comprehensive approach to the interaction between impacts, risks, adaptation and response to climate change. The aim is to break the silo mentality, so that integrated assessments can be made.
Energy systems in a changing climate
A study shows that by 2040, the consequences for the Swedish energy system will be manageable, but this assumes that climate change is taken into account in the investments that the energy industry needs to make.
