Climate strategy & Criteria
We define the thresholds that actually count: science-aligned targets, decision criteria and the KPIs a project will be held to — before design begins.

Climate criteria,
Climate criteria,
measured — not estimated.
Criterra pairs environmental and landscape design with sensing, data and technology, so that climate targets stop being ambitions on a page and become verifiable outcomes on a site.
What we do
Four stations, one survey line from target to proof.
Engage a single station or the full line. Every output is designed to be measured, audited and defended.
Nature-based & Landscape systems
Green infrastructure, water, soil and biodiversity designed to perform — the environmental side treated as engineered systems, not decoration.
Sensing, Data & Monitoring
We instrument the site. Edge sensing and clean data pipelines turn environmental performance into live, verifiable signal instead of annual guesswork.
Assessment & Reporting
Feasibility studies, EU Taxonomy alignment and ESG reporting built on real measurements — documentation that holds up under external scrutiny.
The method
We treat ecological resilience and sustainability as a measurement problem, and solve it in that order.
01 / DEFINE
Set the criteria
Translate ambition and regulation into a small set of measurable, defensible thresholds specific to the site and its climate risk.
02 / BUILD
Design & Instrument
Shape the landscape and technical interventions, then wire in the sensing needed to know — continuously — whether they perform.
03 / VERIFY
Measure & Report
Close the loop with data that proves the criteria were met, packaged for taxonomy, ESG and stakeholder review.
The practice
Two disciplines that usually never meet.
Climate delivery fails in the gap between the people who design the environment and the people who measure it. Criterra was founded to close it.
DISCIPLINE / A
Environment & Landscape
Landscape architecture and environmental design — how a site holds water, carbon, heat and life, and how to shape it so the numbers move in the right direction.
DISCIPLINE / B
Data, Sensing & Edge AI
Embedded sensing, edge computing and analytics — the instrumentation that turns a green intervention into evidence you can put in front of a regulator or investor.
