Dar es Salaam in Tanzania is one of Africa’s fastest-growing cities, with a population of around 5 million that is expected to double by 2050. https://lnkd.in/ecETmZHU Discover how Fathom teamed up with Arup to demonstrate how urban greening can alleviate flood risk in Dar es Salaam with rapid bespoke modeling. The project showed that: 🏢 — Up to 17,000 buildings could become less susceptible to flooding by 2030   💧 — The city could absorb an additional 730,000m3 of rainfall in the soil – the equivalent of about 300 Olympic-size swimming pools 🌡️ — Urban heat island effect could be reduced by 1-5°C 🌴 — Soil loss could be decreased by approximately 4% Learn more about the power of data-driven, nature-based interventions by reading the full case study: https://lnkd.in/eMjTTd_t The World Bank #floodresilience #naturebasedsolutions #urbangreening #floodrisk #daressalaam #tanzania

Did someone say paella? Last month, our team put our office’s fire policy to the test at our Spanished-themed social. As part of our monthly socials, Fathom is showcasing different cultures from our team. Following on from our recent Swiss night, featuring a quiz and fondue from Nans Addor, this month Fathomer Josue Rodriguez Gonzalez, who hails from Gran Canaria, treated the office to a Spanish feast featuring paella, chorizo, cheeses and wine! Here’s a snap of the team enjoying the feast!

“On the whole, we expect a warming world to be a wetter world,” begins our Chief Research Officer Dr Oliver Wing in a new Carbon Brief article about the myriad extreme flood events that have hit China in recent years - most recently with heavy rainfall and flooding resulting in 12bn yuan ($1.65bn) in April 2024 alone. But why can’t we attribute this increase in flooding to one specific factor? And can we quantify the impact of human-led climate change on the increased wetness?
