How Climate Change Affects Businesses

A changing climate is perhaps one of the greatest threats to our current way of life. Climate change will cause more extreme weather events, as well as more gradual shifts in seasonal weather patterns, both of which can have disruptive—or devastating—effects.

Even within the UK, not every region will experience climate change in the same way. To assess the risks for a particular asset in a particular location, it’s important to model the climatic conditions under a full range of future scenarios.

Different asset types will be more or less vulnerable to the effects of climate change. By conducting thorough climate change risk assessments now, businesses can future-proof operations to limit disruption and maintain competitive advantages.

Climate Analysis

Antea Group’s climate change analysts and environmental scientists assess the unique climatic conditions of your sites across the UK and beyond. We help you to understand the immediate natural hazards and the plausible climate scenarios that could affect your assets and operations.

Climate Change Risk Assessment

Climate change can affect organisations in many ways. Physical damage and business disruption can affect finances. Non-compliance with climate change-related regulations can lead to legal challenges or threaten your license to operate.  Asset damage and pollution events caused by natural hazards can harm people and the environment. Reputation and brand image can also be damaged if an organisation does not respond to climate challenges.

Our expert risk assessors identify the vulnerabilities of your assets and operations and, based on that information, develop risk profiles and prioritise actions. We support you and your teams in implementing practical control measures to enhance resilience of built environments, operational processes, and supply chains.

Climate Change Adaptation Plans

Our experts work with you to identify and implement adaptation measures to make your assets and people more climate change-resilient. We can help you develop holistic climate-change adaptation plans—supported with CAPEX and OPEX cost implications and required timescales—that include:  

  • Increased flood protection  
  • Telecommunications upgrades 
  • Ground stabilisation 
  • Enhanced cooling of critical systems 
  • Emergency response plans 
  • Employee training 
  • And more 

We believe that a climate-conscious business is one that is well-positioned for a resilient future. To learn more about how we can partner with you to create a customised climate adaptation plan, contact us today.
