Climate Consulting Services at AWN Consulting

In recent years our climate consulting services at AWN Consulting have rapidly expanded due to demand for accurate, detailed and defensible climate assessment. As businesses, governments, and communities prioritise reducing their environmental impact and meeting ambitious climate targets, we provide expert guidance to support sustainable practices and regulatory compliance.

We work with a wide range of clients, including:

• Public infrastructure developers
• Data centre developers
• Energy providers
• Residential developments
• Renewable energy operators

Our tailored climate impact assessments and mitigation strategies help clients address climate challenges while contributing to a low-carbon economy.

Climate Impact Assessments

Climate impact assessments form the cornerstone of our consulting services. Our experts help clients evaluate potential greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions associated with their projects and provide actionable insights into how these emissions may affect local and global climate goals.

In addition to assessing and mitigating GHG emissions, we work closely with design teams to ensure future climate hazards, such as extreme weather events, are accounted for. We recognise the need to balance development needs with climate impact so we work closely with our clients to find practical and effective solutions. Our solutions incorporate resilience and adaptation strategies to future-proof projects against the impacts of climate change.

Climate Risk and Vulnerability Assessments

We specialise in Climate Risk and Vulnerability Assessments, which are becoming a staple part of many planning applications. We specialise in assessing the vulnerability of projects to climate related hazards, such as extreme weather, flooding, and temperature changes. We ensure essential mitigation and adaptation measures are built into project design to protect the long-term performance and resilience of projects to future climate change.

Key services include:

• GHG emissions quantification and reporting
• Development of mitigation strategies to reduce or offset emissions
• Risk assessment of predicted future climate hazards
• Adaptation measures to ensure project longevity and protect against the impact of a changing climate

Supporting the Renewable Energy Transition

Our work in the renewable energy sector is crucial to the development of wind and solar projects that support Ireland’s goal of achieving net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050.

We provide expert advice and support throughout the entire project lifecycle, from feasibility studies to environmental assessments and planning applications. Our services help developers:

• Navigate complex regulatory frameworks
• Maximise environmental and economic benefits
• Ensure sustainable project implementation
