Climate Adaptation - Sustainability Shorts

What next? 

Hannah from UKGBC wears her climate adaptation nerdiness on her sleeve. She loves numbers and maps. But there’s a bigger reason for it than that. Hannah’s nerdiness is deeper – she wants to create adapted, resilient communities for people to live, work and play.  

What does that mean for our towns and cities? And what do we need to do?  

Press play to hear Hannah and UKGBC Members explain the resilience and adaptation challenge for the built environment. Learn about the solutions that can be implemented now, and the actions that we can all take to make resilient communities for people to live, work and play.
