Adapting to climate change How do we do it? Our methodology is based on a process consistingof an exposure assessment that identifies the Our climate change adaptation strategy is climate risks that each facility is potentially exposed implemented through the adoption of a methodo-based on itsgeographical location (heat, drought, Why are we doing this? logy designed to take into account local realities clay shrinkage and swelling (CSR), heavy rainfall and integrate requirements for climate changeand flooding, coastal dynamics, storms and strong The increasing frequency and intensity of extreme weather events is affecting all the regions where mitigation and adaptation, and compliance with our winds, fires, extreme cold, and ground movements), DomusVi operates.

Action plans associated with each risk have been consolidated (each comprising three components: the building’s external envelope, interior layout and organisation of operations) and will be rolled out by the Environment Committee in 2025. The climate change adaptation strategy is being developed in close coordination with the asset management plan. 92 93 4202 TROPER YTILIBANIATSUSSEGNELLAHC LATNEMNORIVNE RUO
