Façade avant de l'hôtel de la Vaupalière (GIE AXA, Paris) The AXA portfolio in the face of climate change
The objective was to identify current and future climate risks for AXA’s tertiary building and propose a range of adaptation solutions to implement, to reduce risks, via a dedicated decision-assistance tool.
Identifying risks to propose tailored solutions
Our specialist research office, Resallience, was appointed by AXA to:
- Propose a classification of vulnerability to climate change with the calculation of a score reflecting exposure to trend-based and extreme climate risks by 2050 under scenario RCP 4.5 and RCP 8.5, and a score for site vulnerability to climate risks based on the building’s sensitivity.
- Define an adaptation action plan including a benchmarking of existing measures and good practices adapted to the site and to the risks, a classification of recommendations for preliminary solutions to improve the site’s resilience and the development of a decision-assistance tool for the roll-out of resilience solutions
