ARCADIS IS STRATEGIC ADVISOR CLIMATE POLICY EUROPEAN CITIES
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
ARCADIS (EURONEXT: ARCAD), the international consultancy, design, engineering
and management services company, today announced that it will advise more than
150 European cities on how to deal with the impact of climate change. This will
include the development and application of tailor-made climate adaptation
strategies on behalf of the European Union. In this project ARCADIS cooperates
with British consultancy AEA, ICLEI (International Council for Local
Environmental Initiatives), the University of Manchester, the German firm
Adelphi and the consultants of Alexander Ballard. Financial details were not
disclosed.
Anticipating on climate change, especially in this time of economic crisis, is
increasingly seen as a base requirement for stability and prosperity in the
European Union. Especially cities are vulnerable for climate change.
ARCADIS advises a network of more than 150 cities, 21 of which through intensive
coaching, about measures and appropriate strategies to prepare for changes in
the climate. How do cities anticipate on how to deal with extremes like
flooding, droughts and heat? How do cities in these times of economic crisis
deal with investments in large infrastructure developments? Is there a fitting
evacuation policy? But also raising awareness in Europe has to become part of
the strategic policy at city level.
The project will also gather available know-how on climate change for the
Directorate General Climate Action (DG Climate) of the European Union.
Experience is exchanged and instruments are developed to design adaptation
strategies. In this project the European Union will further develop the insights
to develop an EU adaptation strategy. With this project, ARCADIS is further
developing its European climate ambitions.
