Climate-adapted procurement – A More resilient procurement process

IVL Swedish Environmental Research Institute provides companies and public sector organizations with advice and support regarding the risks and impacts of climate change. We help organizations integrate climate adaptation into their strategic purchasing and procurement processes to strengthen resilience and long-term sustainability.

Public sector operations and businesses are affected by climate change, both through extreme weather events and gradual changes. To reduce risks, manage impacts, and increase resilience, climate adaptation may need to be integrated into procurement and contracts today. Strategic purchasing and procurement can be powerful tools for businesses and public organizations, but they also risk locking the organization into inadequate contracts or technologies if climate adaptation is not taken into account in the right situations.

IVL has experience working with the impacts and risks of a changing climate, both in relation to urban development and real estate, as well as in relation to purchasing and procurement. We have carried out assignments for SMHI, including an investigation into how climate-adapted procurement is implemented in various municipalities.
