Environment & Climate Change

Innovation services to mitigate and adapt to climate change

Mitigating climate change and adapting to the unavoidable consequences of climate change is high on the agenda of many governmental and developmental organisations. A healthy environment is crucial to ensuring the effectiveness of all development activities. To improve the lives of communities, it is of essential importance to find a balance in the use of natural resources and limiting the amount of damage to the environment.

Our climate change adaptation and mitigation expertise is grounded in the core capabilities of the organisation in the water and energy sectors. Using innovative, affordable and sustainable solutions, we assist our clients in reaching sustainability goals, reducing costs through more efficient use of resources, and eventually pave the way for future generations to meet their own needs.

MWH provides a wide array of services in this field, ranging from strategy and policy development, to tailored solutions for water resource management, renewable energy, sustainable power generation, energy efficiency and energy management, environmental management, greenhouse gas reporting and management and climate change adaptation in the water and other related sectors.

Global commitment

MWH’s flagship projects help to mitigate climate change and to encourage low-carbon growth in Europe and in developing countries. Our projects have helped governments around the world in identifying their climate change commitments at an international level. We are supporting our clients to ensure universal access to energy and, at the same time, reducing carbon emissions globally, by promoting renewable energy and energy efficiency worldwide. We have signed up to the Clinton Global Initiative and we are a member of the Climate Group, ensuring sustainable development for our clients in the face of global climate change.
