Climate change is widely seen as the most important environmental problem facing the world today. It impinges on virtually all natural processes and human activities, and the water sector is affected as profoundly as most.
Climate change has entered the media spotlight comparatively recently. However, WRc has worked in the water and waste sectors for many years, gaining valuable expertise to help manage the projected impact of climate change on our clients’ operations.
Our experience, coupled with our economics expertise and reputation for research, makes us ideally suited to help clients adapt their activities, for example to meet the UK Government’s low carbon economic objectives as required by the UK Climate Change Act.
WRc provides support to governments, their agencies and regulatory bodies in developing technically sound policy and regulation, and offers advice and support to our clients to optimise their operational efficiency and minimise risk to their business from new legislation such as the CRC Energy Efficiency Scheme.
