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, UKGBC’s 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. Developed in collaboration with a wide range of stakeholders across industry, the Roadmap provides a shared vision, clear actions, and policy recommendations to drive systemic change.

Join us as we launch the Roadmap

As part of London Climate Action week, this launch event will bring together industry leaders, policymakers, and built environment professionals to formally launch the Roadmap, and to celebrate this industry-changing document. During the afternoon, we’ll explore the Roadmap’s key findings, strategic priorities, and implications for the sector. Attendees will gain insight into the pressing adaptation challenges facing the UK, and hear from experts on how we can collectively mobilise to embed resilience at every scale – from individual buildings to national policy.
