Altera – An approach to climate adaptation
Altera – An approach to climate adaptation
Published on 23 Mar 2026
Altera adopted the Framework for Climate Adaptive Buildings (FCAB) to establish a consistent approach to assessing physical climate risk across its real estate portfolio. The methodology combines location-based climate hazard analysis with building vulnerability assessments and adaptation planning. Applied at De Groene Kaap in Rotterdam, the assessment identified heavy rainfall as the most material hazard, while the overall risk remained below the threshold requiring adaptation measures.
