UK Climate Resilience Roadmap

This is a critical time for climate action. In the most recent assessment of risks the UK faces from climate-related hazards, over 60% were given the highest urgency score, a staggering increase in urgency compared to the previous assessment. Destructive climate impacts and extreme weather changes will affect all members of our society, devastate lives and livelihoods, and have a detrimental impact on the buildings, infrastructure and environments that keep us secure from climate-related hazards.  

As noted by the Climate Change Committee, the UK currently lacks associated targets or goals for resilience standards at a national, local or sectoral level. This is reflected in UKGBC’s 2025 strategy which identifies the need to define these targets through collaborative research and engagement with the wider built environment industry. 

UKGBC now aim to address this gap by catalysing more urgent, comprehensive, and cohesive action on climate resilience throughout our industry and beyond.
