Creating Climate
The United Nations Environment Programme has published a guide on constructing buildings and community spaces resilient to climate change.
This practical guide demonstrates how buildings and community spaces can be constructed to increase their resilience to climate change, especially in developing countries where structures are largely self-built. The publication provides an overview of the fundamental types of interventions at the building scale, including the use of nature-based solutions.
A Practical Guide to Climate
A Practical Guide to Climate-resilient Buildings & Communities offers construction solutions to adapt to a range of different risks in various climates . For instance, it shows us how to reduce indoor heat in hot and arid climates , or how to mitigate cyclone impacts on buildings in hot and humid climates . Importantly, the report also provides us with a highly practical checklist that should be ...
Adaptation in the buildings and construction sector is still in its early stages and efforts need to be rapidly scaled up to cope with increasingly intense climate change impacts. This practical guide presents a range of adaptation interventions to respond to droughts, flooding, sea level rise, heatwaves and warming, cyclones and strong winds for different building types and different settings ...

How to Build Climate
While we all need to combat the climate crisis, we also need to start building climate-resilient communities . Resilient communities cannot stop global warming entirely but resilient design can help people lead healthier, happier lives in the wake of a climate crisis.
Effective community engagement, supportive policy and planning frameworks, and sustainable infrastructure are essential components of this integrated approach. The case studies and examples discussed in this article illustrate the power of local engagement and innovative strategies in building climate-resilient communities .
