Climate Resilience: how to adapt cities and buildings?

Join us for the latest webinar in Efficient Buildings Europe’s series to explore the growing importance of climate adaptation in the built environment.

As the EU experiences increasingly frequent and intense weather events, such as heatwaves, heavy rainfalls and drought, climate adaptation is becoming a critical priority for policymakers, cities, businesses, and building professionals, Buildings play a central role in protecting citizens from extreme heat while ensuring comfort, resilience, and productivity.

This webinar will explore how the European Union, local authorities, industry and insurers are responding to the adaptation challenge and preparing Europe’s built environment for a changing climate.

The discussion will begin with an overview of the EU’s climate adaptation agenda and the role of buildings in strengthening resilience. Speakers will examine how adaptation is being integrated into European policy frameworks and international initiatives,  and why cooperation across sectors is essential.

Building on this policy context, the webinar will showcase perspectives from industry, cities, and the insurance sector. Through practical examples and expert insights, participants will discover how innovative building solutions, urban adaptation strategies, and risk management approaches can help communities better withstand extreme heat and other climate-related impacts.
