The objective of the assignment was to carry out comprehensive climate proofing for two planned healthcare infrastructure projects — the Genomics Centre and the CAYS facility — in line with the European Commission’s Technical Guidance on the Climate Proofing of Infrastructure (2021–2027).
The service included:
- Screening both projects for alignment with EU climate neutrality targets (mitigation pillar);
- Conducting vulnerability and risk assessments related to climate change hazards (adaptation pillar);
- Identifying potential exposure to climate risks such as heatwaves, flooding, and resource stress;
- Evaluating design features and operational strategies for climate resilience;
- Recommending adaptation measures and/or confirming alignment with EU funding requirements.
The final deliverables consisted of two detailed climate proofing reports (one for each project), addressing both pillars (mitigation and adaptation)
