Cities have a critical role in fighting climate change. At the same time, they are also a significant contributor to climate change. Urban activities are a primary source of GHG emissions, accounting for 70% of total global CO2 emissions, with transport and buildings being among the most significant contributors. Cities can be pivotal in reducing global GHG emissions through ambitious urban planning, robust policies, and increasing resilience or ensuring the cities can withstand the impacts of extreme weather events.

Publication Alert 🚨: I am glad to share that our latest article, co-authored with Olena Danylenko, Ph.D, MPA , is now available online! In our publication, titled "Charting Climate Adaptation Integration in Smart Building Rating Systems: A Comparative Study," we explore the incorporation of climate adaptation measures within smart building rating systems across various building sectors and hazards. Take a look into our findings to see how these systems are evolving to meet the challenges of climate change. https://lnkd.in/evxfktxB

How can the construction industry help the UK reach net zero? In this article, we look at our role to play in tackling climate change

Not only is the built environment at risk of strain and damage due to the effects of climate change, but it is also one of the largest areas of opportunity to address climate change. All of us in the building industry are in a unique position to tackle climate change, perhaps more so than the average person because we can actively choose to implement greener design and see the direct impact that it has on emissions. This article shares some impressive strides the industry has made, but sustaining and accelerating this progress is essential. https://lnkd.in/gibQzPbH #greendesign #sustainability #innovation

In the fight against climate change, reusing existing buildings pays huge dividends. Kathleen Abbott, one of my favorite Arcadis colleagues, delves into the urgent need for retrofitting beyond new construction in this insightful Forbes piece—'Beyond New Construction: The Urgent Need for Retrofitting in The Fight Against Climate Change.’ Click here: https://okt.to/ROUK1Y #UrbanSustainability #ClimateAction
