Climate Resilience: An Action Planning Learning Workshop for Organisations, Occupiers and Owners (Online)
Climate resilience is no longer optional—it’s imperative. Safeguarding people and the natural environment must be our top priority, and the built environment sector is at the forefront of this mission. From designing climate-resilient homes, offices, schools, and healthcare facilities to retrofitting existing assets, our industry must lead the charge in creating safe, adaptable communities that can withstand the uncertainties of our changing climate, anywhere.
The UK Climate Resilience Roadmap sets out a bold and practical framework for how the sector can respond to the key climate hazards, plan and build long-term resilience, while ensuring a just and climate-safe future for all.
This action-planning workshop will support you in using the Roadmap to develop the basis of an action plan for resilience, following the ‘four stages of building resilience’. You’ll work with others across industry to understand the current resilience of your origination and any buildings you own and operate, and develop actions to build resilience.
About the course
During this three and half-hour workshop, we’ll walk through the for stages of building resilience, assessing where your organisation is at each stage and considering what actions you can take forward to increase resilience.
We’ll use tools and resources from the Roadmap – and some especially made for this workshop – to help you develop an action plan to use within your organisation.
We’ll also look at governance, and use our governance maturity matrix to understand where your organisation is right now. Next we’ll look at strategy and resilience – and linking it to other sustainability issues. Finally, we’ll look at metrics and measurement.
This course expects a base level of understanding of climate resilience and adaption. If you’re new to the topic, please sign-up to our An Introduction to Climate Resilience and Adaptation in the Built Environment on-demand course.
We’re also running workshops for project teams – learn more about that course here.
