TAUW conducted a Climate Risk Assessment (CRA) for a planned logistics centre in Germany, supporting future development decisions for a site that was still undeveloped at the time of assessment. The study focused on identifying physical climate risks under both current and future climate scenarios and translating these risks into practical adaptation measures.
The CRA provided decision‑makers with early‑stage insight into climate resilience, enabling climate‑aware site acquisition and design choices.
Because the site was an empty plot with no existing buildings, understanding physical site characteristics and future climate exposure required scenario‑based assumptions. Long‑term planning for climate risks and resilience measures was therefore complex, particularly regarding accessibility, flooding risk and heat stress under future climate conditions.
TAUW applied a structured assessment aligned with EU taxonomy requirements:
This approach ensured the CRA remained robust despite limited baseline information.
The assessment delivered:
The results support informed investment and development decisions, reducing long‑term climate‑related vulnerabilities.
By conducting the CRA at an early project stage, TAUW enabled climate resilience to be embedded directly into future development plans, supporting sustainable logistics infrastructure
