Climate Impact Statements™
Climate Impact Statements (CIS)™ can be used in much the same capacity as an Environmental Impact Statement, with the exception that the CIS™ addresses the impact of the environment, including projected climates, on the project and seeks to minimize risks to existing or new developments, assets or infrastructure.
​
Our CIS™ are living documents, providing changes in potential risks for 20-year time slices that represent near-term (2030), mid-term (2060), and long-term (2090) projections. Clients can do ‘what-if scenarios,’ or ‘visioning’ exercises to explore how their actions may alter the impacts depending on their goals and how they use their resources.
​
A CIS™ can help to develop and monitor “tipping points,” or the points where a risk moves from acceptable to unacceptable. By understanding the potential timing of these tipping points, it is possible to respond promptly, potentially avoiding system failures. Our clients can be proactive and not reactive to a changing future.
