We first spoke to Dr Alistair Ford, lecturer at Newcastle University and member of the Tyndall Centre about his work on the OpenCLIM project which looks at how we might carry out future climate change risk assessments in the UK.  

Dr Freya Garry from the Met Office spoke to us about how we’re currently modelling future climate scenarios, what these climate models can be used for, and by who.  

Finally, Gemma Holmes from the Climate Change Committee spoke to us about the most recent Independent UK Climate Change Risk Assessment (CCRA3) and how we can use it to act on climate change.

The post Building Resilience: Climate Change Modelling and Risk Assessments appeared first on UKGBC.

This film is part of the ‘Building A Better Future’ series, which sets out to explore the effect buildings have on the environment as well as the people living in them. It looks at the ways in which green buildings can help reduce carbon emissions, from conception to demolition and it examines the impact of sustainably conscious design on the quality of people’s lives.

Representing voices from across the world, the stories show some innovative and impactful examples of green buildings, from the newly built, to older buildings which have been retrofitted and given a healthier life. With 39% of global carbon emissions coming from buildings and construction, momentum for transformation within the industry is growing. From increased energy efficiency, to carbon neutral materials and considered design, change is beginning to be applied at scale – to build a better future.
