Panellist – Climate Resilience: Building for a Changing Climate
Wednesday, 9 July 2025, 11:45 AM
Climate resilience has emerged as a critical priority in mitigating the escalating risks of climate-related threats. Unlike conventional durability measures – such as design redundancy and material strength – true resilience demands a building’s capacity to anticipate, absorb, adapt, and recover from climate shocks.
This panel delves into resilience-driven design, examining how we can future-proof our cities, infrastructure, and communities against climate uncertainty. From cutting-edge innovations to enabling policies, we’ll explore what it takes to embed resilience at the core of development, and why it’s the cornerstone of meaningful sustainability.
Join us as we redefine building for a changing climate.
