For a leading private airport operator
The client is a leading private airport operator in India. The objective of the project was to assess climate vulnerability and risk across seven major airports, with the aim of supporting climate-resilient operational planning.
With growing climate volatility, the client needed to assess how increasing weather extremes could disrupt airport infrastructure, operations, and long-term sustainability. The goal was to build climate resilience into their airport management practices across seven key locations—Mumbai, Guwahati, Lucknow, Jaipur, Mangalore, Trivandrum, and Ahmedabad.
A comprehensive climate risk and vulnerability assessment was conducted, evaluating exposure to heatwaves, flooding, sea-level rise, and extreme rainfall under future climate scenarios. The project included business interruption modeling and infrastructure risk profiling, supported by a transition risk analysis spanning policy, tech, market, and reputational domains. A detailed climate risk register and impact matrix were developed, and practical adaptation strategies were framed to inform resilient airport operations and investment decisions.
The assessment gave the client a data-driven understanding of climate vulnerabilities across their airport network. It helped prioritize mitigation and adaptation actions—positioning them to future-proof operations and meet sustainability goals under evolving regulatory and environmental expectations.
