Climate Proofing Work for Wastewater Upgrade Projects

We’re proud to have delivered a comprehensive Climate Proofing Report for the Water Services Corporation’s (WSC) national wastewater infrastructure upgrades as part of the ERDF and Cohesion funded projects for 2021-2027. Our team assessed the climate risks and vulnerabilities that could affect this critical investment and identified tailored mitigation and adaptation measures to future-proof Malta’s wastewater supply.

Our Role

🌱 Climate Risk Assessment 

We carried out an in-depth climate hazards identification exercise, analyzing the project’s exposure and sensitivity to key climate threats:

· Heatwaves and rising temperatures

· Drought and prolonged water scarcity

· Flooding and heavy rainfall events

· Sea level rise and saline intrusion

· Storm surges and coastal erosion

· High winds and extreme weather event

🔎 Vulnerability & Risk Evaluation

We evaluated how these hazards could impact desalination plants, wastewater treatment systems, power supply infrastructure, and water distribution networks—from energy disruptions to operational shutdowns and potential public health risks.

Our Solutions

✅ Mitigation and Adaptation Strategy Development 

We provided actionable recommendations to strengthen the project’s climate resilience.

✅ Ensuring EU and National Compliance

Our Climate Proofing Report was aligned with EU guidance and Malta’s national strategies, ensuring compliance while maximizing the project’s long-term sustainability.

Why It Matters

🔹 We helped safeguard critical national infrastructure projects against current and future climate risks.

🔹 Our work supports Malta’s transition toward climate adaptation and resilient water management.

🔹 By identifying and addressing vulnerabilities early on in the projects, we added long-term value and reduced future risk exposure for our client.

Start: 2021
