Adaptation measures
Which climate risk platform is right for your business?
CONTENTS
Adaptation measures are the concrete actions that reduce an asset's vulnerability to climate hazards — flood barriers, drainage, cooling and shading, fire breaks, and water management.
Example in context
You're a real-estate owner facing rising flood risk at a logistics hub. Modelling each measure — raised loading docks, upgraded drainage — shows one cuts expected annual loss by half while another barely moves it, so you spend only where it pays.
Why it matters
Without this view, resilience spend is guesswork. Adaptation measures are the line items that protect value, keep assets insurable, and extend useful life. EarthScan estimates how much each measure lowers expected loss at the asset level.
