A Climate Impact Assessment aims to evaluate the risks and vulnerabilities associated with a project over a period of 50 to 100 years, in order to adapt the project accordingly. It is particularly relevant for large-scale projects (collective infrastructure, industrial sites, transport or water management projects) that are intended to last and whose viability may be affected by climate change.

The Climate Impact Assessments (CIAs) and Climate Risk and Vulnerability Assessments (CRVAs) conducted by ABV Development are based on existing European guidelines, incorporating a specific methodology recognized by the European Commission through the JASPERS program. They rely on models and exposure factors clearly established at the level of international standards.

ABV Development has supported projects in various sectors: rail and air transport, wastewater treatment, drinking water production, waste treatment, and biomethanization. These assignments have been carried out internationally, in areas particularly exposed to risks induced by climate change.

Mitigation aims to address the causes of climate change, particularly by reducing greenhouse gas emissions, to decrease the likelihood of major climatic events. Adaptation, on the other hand, involves addressing the consequences of climate change by reducing exposure to risks and improving the resilience of infrastructure and activities in the face of identified hazards.
