Why are climate action plans important now?

Moving towards a net zero, climate resilient town or city is complex. We bring in-depth experience in design, re-design and delivery of sustainable and successful communities, towns & cities. These unique insights mean we understand how sustainable communities thrive; how design influences this; and how tangible synergies between people, place and nature are created for a sustainable future.

The long term, yet immediate, need to drive towards net zero carbon communities and address climate challenges is core to our multi-disciplinary services offer. Our integrated teams can support you, wherever you are on your journey towards a climate resilient net zero future.

Understanding key challenges

Insights

Our experts delve into climate action.

Key drivers for low carbon inclusive growth

Here we set out 5 critical steps that can enable cities to realise inclusive growth and address climate change challenges through infrastructure investment.

Reduce carbon through active travel strategy

Developing an active travel strategy needs to address so much more than just infrastructure. We've reviewed five of these key barriers and how to address them.

Realising the value of green space

Ramboll, along with greenspace scotland have been investigating the opportunity to realise further value of green spaces through hidden energy solutions.
