Climate Change Risk Assessment & Adaptation
Climate change is no longer a distant threat; it’s a present-day challenge, especially for offshore and coastal infrastructure. Rising sea levels, extreme weather events, and shifting ocean dynamics are increasing the vulnerability of ports, harbours, offshore wind farms, and other critical assets.
ABL Group delivers expert-led, data-driven solutions to help asset owners, developers, and investors understand, assess, and adapt to climate risks, ensuring long-term sustainability and operational resilience.
Through our specialist companies – ABL, Hidromod, and OWC – we offer a unique blend of marine engineering, numerical modelling, and renewable energy consultancy. With over 500+ water modelling studies completed, we provide:
- High-resolution metocean forecasting
- Advanced climate risk assessments
- Tailored adaptation roadmaps
- Digital tools for real-time decision-making
Market Challenges
High cost and feasibility of adaptation.
Uncertainty in future weather patterns.
Regulatory and policy gaps.
Technology bottlenecks.
Our Solutions
Robust modelling and scenario planning to optimise investment.
Advanced simulations and real-time data to reduce risk blind spots.
Strategic guidance aligned with evolving climate frameworks.
Scalable digital tools and innovation-driven engineering.
