CLIMATE CHANGE& RESILIENCE
Promoting climate resilience in our built environment is essential for ensuring social equity and justice, as the impacts of climate change often disproportionately affect marginalized communities.
By promoting resilience, we can reduce the risk of climate-related disasters and improve the well-being of their residents, especially those who are most vulnerable.
