Marine and coastal environments are under pressure from increasingly violent weather events, which also continued to increase in frequency and force in 2022. At the same time, coastal cities continue to grow and put pressure on local ecosystems. All this combined with the impact of climate change puts pressure on the natural environment, and solutions to these issues must be flexible and adapted to work in harmony with nature – not against it.
DHI works with clients in the public and private sectors such as governments, insurance, real estate and shipping, to protect shorelines, support coastal development and safeguard ecosystems. Our solutions, technologies and data help our clients transform model results into sustainable engineering solutions designed to cope with future climate and development needs.
Our solutions include:
Coastal resilience – resilience adaptation planning helps coastal communities adapt and improve long-term sustainability against loss of lives and properties. One example is how digital twins of coastal environmental settings support mitigation of coastline instability and flooding
Protection of life below water – ecological restoration, biodiversity conservation and resource exploration. Our nature-based approach is backed by advanced modelling technology and monitoring data, including satellite imagery
Blue carbon advisory – nature-based solutions for climate change mitigation and adaptation through restoration and protection of coastal habitats. We provide data-driven technology solutions to ensure robust carbon accounting, monitoring, reporting and verification for nature-based carbon offsetting
