Climate Change Adaptation Resilience Roadmap Consultation

Past consultation

What does climate resilience and adaptation mean for the built environment? What would a climate-resilient UK built environment look like, and how can the industry achieve it? We have a proposal, and we need your feedback.

In close collaboration with various organisations across all of the UK’s subsectors of the built environment, UKGBC is co-creating the country’s first UK Climate Resilience Roadmap for the built environment—a practical, evidence-based guide to help the industry adapt to climate change, protect people, and support ecosystems. This industry consultation seeks feedback from individuals and organisations across the built environment value chain.

This is an opportunity for UKGBC members and the wider industry to review and feedback on the current proposals to ensure industry alignment and consensus on of this roadmap .

UK Climate Resilience Roadmap

As climate change impacts continue to occur, the built environment must prepare for hazards such as heatwaves, floods, and storms whilst cutting carbon emissions. To start, we first need to understand how to measure our resilience, establish industry-wide targets and pinpoint essential actions and policies to achieve them.

Climate Change Adaptation

As the climate crisis intensifies and extreme weather events become more common, the UK’s buildings, cities and critical infrastructure, and the communities that use and occupy these, are in increasing danger. It’s vital to address how our buildings and infrastructure can be adapted to remain fit for the future.
