Oceans contain nearly 200,000 identified species. Oceans serve as the world’s largest source of protein, with more than 3 billion people depending on the oceans as their primary source of protein. However, as much as 40 percent of the world’s oceans are heavily affected by human activities, including pollution, depleted fisheries, and loss of coastal habitats. Danish consulting engineers work in partnership with IFIs to prevent and reduce marine pollution of all kinds, to sustainably manage and protect marine and coastal ecosystems, to develop conservation plans in line with national and international policy and conventions, and to provide institutional strengthening and capacity building to relevant authorities in all aspects of marine management and conservation.
PROJECT: FINANCING LOW CARBON, CLIMATE RESILIENT INFRASTRUCTURE IN ASIA AND THE PACIFIC
Ramboll has been working with the Asian Development Bank to develop a methodology to predict climate impacts on urban infrastructure as well as predict the carbon profiles of cities. Ramboll’s approach has put an emphasis upon the use of an “archetype city” with the specific cities being Tbilisi, Ulaanbaatar, Ho Chi Minh City, Suva, Dhaka, and Mandalay. For each of the cities, infrastructure and climate vulnerability have been assessed and investment needs prioritised.
