About Session
2024 broke temperature records, exacerbating wildfires, droughts, flooding and severity of storms. The result is increased recognition of the value of resilience in our communities and built environment. For climate adaptation to catch-up to mitigation, what is needed from policy makers, material producers and all city stakeholders? Is our resilience deficit too local and too inconsistent to get the policy attention that climate mitigation has achieved? Is the financial risk from lack of resilience going to unlock a fundamental shift in action? A fundamental driver to the Circularity paradigm is reducing resource use – improved resilience delivers this reduction. How can this be increasingly recognised, leveraged and delivered?
