ICF guides organizations, such as federal agencies, state transportation departments, and metropolitan planning organizations, to the innovative adaptation strategies, technical tools, and partnerships they need to decrease costs, increase benefits, and move projects forward.
Our adaptation services include:
- Modeling incremental effects on infrastructure and operations
- Assessing vulnerabilities
- Evaluating climate risk mitigation options
- Engaging stakeholders through pilots and workshops
ICF applies deep programmatic and broad geographic experience to today's complex adaptation challenges. Our years of experience with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) includes helping EPA launch its first adaptation program and analyze estuary vulnerability for a Coastal Toolkit of data, strategies, and communication tools.
In the United States, we’re working with a Gulf Coast metropolitan planning organization to identify options for mitigating the impact of climate change on transportation assets. Worldwide, our climate change experts are in the field in locations such as Brazil and China, discovering and implementing best adaptation practices.
ICF’s adaptation solutions are further strengthened by our multidisciplinary teams, who bring extensive knowledge of the environment, energy, transportation, human health, and other disciplines to this inherently cross-cutting issue.
