SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS
CONSULTANTS
SGA, also known as Sustainable Goal Advisors, has fashioned itself on the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals {SDG} and works as an SDG Consultant for the design development of
Climate Resilient & Sustainable Urban Systems.
Fountain Head-II, a Sustainable Architecture and Interior Design company in partnership with Meteoblue AG, the meteorology company of Switzerland and ESG Matters ApS of Denmark, a Sustainability Management Consulting firm, which has contributed to the Inter-governmental Panel for Climate Change [IPCC] created Sandeep Goswami Associates [SGA]. To offer a unique service – Climate Science as a Sustainability Service. [CSaSS]
SGA offers CSaSS for Climate Change Related Risk Management and Mitigation & Adaptation solutions, through real-time and future analysis along with implementation solutions & and services consultancy.
SGA's CSaSS - is a 3-in-1 tool, which can be utilized both by the Government (Regulators) and Businesses alike.
A] Corporates can understand and utilize the tool in the following manner –
1. CRA - Climate Risk Assessment identifies the various hazards that could be a Risk to their Asset, Supply Chain or Investment.
2. DRRD - Disaster Risk Resilient Design provides the specific solutions guidelines to Adapt or Mitigate such Risks & finally,
3. ESG - using any internationally recognized Sustainability Account tools such as; GRI, TCFD, BRSR et al; to Monitor - Verify - Report on the solutions undertaken. Thereby helping in achieving Sustainable Finance.
This provides the ability to take a comprehensive, global view and can give insurers and reinsurers greater confidence that the risk they have assumed is a risk they can afford to take. Which makes the Business/ Entity conducive to Investors' and Regulators' approval.
B] Regulators would find that –
The purpose of the CSaSS tool is to create the connections between biodiversity loss and climate change and propose potential solutions for addressing them as interconnected problems.
1. CRA - measures the Climate change arising from human-induced greenhouse gas emissions, including the loss of biomass and biodiversity.
2. ESG- Using the 4 RCPs to find the correct solutions that exist with co-benefits across sectors, such as Climate, Biodiversity, and Societal challenges and suggesting the best RCP methodology to be used. And then measure the solution.
3. DRRD - Coordinated efforts among applied Science Based Targets {SBT} and Policy to identify and help navigate the development pathways toward Climate resilience.
Therefore, we propose to consider CSaSS as a singular tool, which when used would give the pathway one needs to follow to reach net Zero!
CSaSS ACTIONPLAN
Explore Hazards
SGA offers the best in Climate Change Mitigation & Adaptation solutions to the World with its unparalleled human intelligence pool of Architect - Interior design - Structural - Civil - MEP; Environment Policy & Management Consulting, in one hand & an internationally experienced team of Climatology, Meteorology & Remote Sensing on the other who work as a single cohesive team to explore if weather and climate represent a hazard to things you value.
Assess Vulnerability & Risks
We study the surroundings of new urban districts & developments to suburban & exurban campuses, centres & communities. Sustainability is an important focus — with equal concern for the socio-economic health of the community and for its environmental quality. When our assessment is complete, you can decide if you are ready to accept the risk that climate presents to your assets.
Investigate Options
Recognizing no distinction between design and the other elements of practice, the starting points of our Climate Change & Sustainability Solutions are goals, strategies & expectations, to create a new and better reality. At the end of our investigation, you’ll have a list of solutions stakeholders are willing to support and implement.
Prioritize & Plan
Successful buildings plans capture the spirit of their surroundings, even as they assert their own identity. They’re visually appealing, healthy, comfortable, flexible, secure, efficient but most importantly Climate-Resilient, a pleasure to be in. And they pay their way, adding real value to their owners and users. The result of our comprehensive exercise is to implement your favoured solutions as per your priorities. While keeping your assets and you Disiaster Risk Resilent.
Take Action
SGA is committed to designing Climate Resilient infrastructure & construction participating in the civic or public realm—buildings in the city or buildings in important public landscape settings. Its performance must be measured in human & organizational terms: higher productivity, greater creativity & innovation to help in Climate Abatement through Mitigation & Adaptation. Thus fully comply to the Enviromental Social & Governance creteria. As you move forward, we Monitor, Review/report and Verify/validate on your project.
CSaSS PROCESS
CSaSS solution incorporates cutting edge Geoscience Measurement & ESG Reporting and incorporates it into the City [Building] Master Planning and/ or Business Supply chain. To provide advance warning to its users. It’s based on real-time & near accurate futuristic data, coupled with a good understanding of innovative Building & Construction technology & integrated Energy Efficiency management.
Using CSaSS services a Business or Institution readies itself of the probabilities of Climate Risk, applies the correct Disaster Resilient Risk Design solutions and then gets the end result Certified via the ESG matrix.
Process flow of CCMA – DRR via CSaSS: [details to be shared on request]
Explore Hazards: Climate; Geological; Spatial
Assess Vulnerability & Risks: Hydrometric; Temperature; Atmospheric; Geological; Cosmic
Investigate Options: Wind Shear & Seismic Modelling; Flood Simulations; Wild Fire Analysis; Load & Materials Analyis
Prioritize & Plan: Carbon Management Services; Environment & Sustainability; Nature Based Solutions; Sustainability

Accuracy of Assessment
• Regional - Macroscale 100 x 100 km
• District - Mesoscale 10 x 10 km
• Local - Microscale 1 x 1 km
• Proximity - Mini-scale 0.1 x 0.1 km
Future Scenarios in decadal format [5; 10; 25; 50; years] Zonal Risk Corridors; Risk Corridors on clients asset.
When applied to the target sector, accurate prediction of climate change will:
1. Define the scope of changes to be expected;Enable calculation of change impact on investment and operations;
2. Allow evaluation of different Mitigation & Adaptation Strategies for Building, Infrastructure and Operations;
3. Substantially improve the long-term ROI of the investments, and reduce risks of damages and failures.
This approach will make investments substantially more profitable and less risky than “business as usual”, as it provides Climate Risk Impact Design & Analysis for 5-50 years ahead into the future.
Thus, CSaSS helps in leap-frogging the problems raised by Climate Change and helping one achieve “more with less”.
