Delivering climate resilience: Beyond the risk assessment

Australia is already facing extreme weather, rising sea levels, and water availability challenges due to climate change. Understanding and managing these risks on projects with effective governance in place supports a resilient future.

David Symons, WSP’s Future Ready Global Leader and Director of Earth & Environment at WSP UK, visited Australia to speak with our clients and share global case studies on how to build climate resilience into our communities and infrastructure.

Topics we explored included:

• Integrating climate action into long-term strategic planning.
• Setting outcome targets for enhancing climate resilience.
• Bridging climate action with projects and establishing effective delivery governance.
• Establishing accountability, from regulators to corporate leaders.
• Enhancing skills and fostering a deeper understanding of long-term resilience strategies.
