Shaping resilient futures together
Beca is helping drive climate resilience, turning bold ideas into action.
Through smart planning, community engagement, investment decision making and local expertise, we deliver real-world sustainable projects that are shaping resilient futures for our communities.
When facing major challenges with lasting consequences (such as those posed by climate change), knowing the best path can be daunting, often leading to uncertainty over how to proceed.
We know we don’t have all the answers, but by working alongside partners, communities and decision makers, and asking the right questions we help to build clarity, confidence and momentum, to tackle current and future challenges together.
We treat uncertainty as an opportunity to create practical and dynamic pathways to risk reduction utilising our experience, knowledge and technical skills.
How we're achieving that
Turning climate adaptation theory into real-world solutions
At Beca, we transform climate adaptation theory into real-world solutions that deliver measurable impact across the Asia Pacific region. With more than over 105 years’ experience in engineering, planning and design, our teams blend deep technical expertise with practical know-how to bridge the gap between strategy and implementation.
We believe effective adaptation is more than just concepts or models - it’s about designing and delivering robust infrastructure and systems that withstand changing climates.
Discover how we're bringing adaptation theory to life through practical actions across countries, projects and clients.
Understanding climate change risks and identifying the most effective adaptation options requires more than just technical modelling and projections.
By combining robust technical information with local observational data and on-the-ground insights, organisations and communities can develop a far more comprehensive picture of both current vulnerabilities and future challenges.
Local observations capture nuances such as microclimates, historical flood patterns, or community responses to past events; details that might be missed in broad-scale technical assessments alone.
Integrating the knowledge of local experts not only improves the accuracy of risk assessments but also helps tailor adaptation strategies to local realities. This approach increases the likelihood that adaptation measures will be practical, accepted by stakeholders, and ultimately successful in building resilience where it matters most.

Facilitation and management services to support impactful adaptation projects.
We believe in working alongside our clients, to co-create impactful solutions to tackle climate challenges together.
Successfully activating climate adaptation projects takes a large volume of pragmatic building blocks to enable the initiative from early scoping to delivery and well into the future.
Particularly key to climate adaptation implementation is the ability to tap into funding and financing as often the most transformational adaptation projects are also a significant cost (especially at the outset).
Beca’s experts have trans-Oceania experience of supporting adaptation with practical services from policy development, project scoping, feasibility studies, investment business cases, community and stakeholder engagement, cost/benefit analyses and more.

What will your organisation look like in 2050? Will it be able to operate as it does today, or will climate risks — such as increased flooding — necessitate significant changes to assets, operations, strategies or even location of business activities?
For organisational decision makers, understanding the implications of our changing climate is becoming increasingly critical
Not only for business continuity but also to meet evolving climate-related disclosure and reporting requirements. Leaders are now expected to chart credible pathways for their organisations to adapt and transition over time, balancing regulatory expectations with strategic resilience.
