Webinar: Climate Change Challenges, Building a Resilient Europe

As climate patterns continue to shift, design professionals, building owners, and municipalities in Europe face the urgent need to adapt their approaches to ensure the resilience and sustainability of structures. This webinar aims to equip participants with practical insights and strategies specifically tailored to the European context, addressing the challenges posed by changing climate hazards and aligning with the EU regulatory framework (incl. EU Taxonomy), government policies, and corporate risk management practices.

At RWDI, we recognize the critical importance of understanding future climate impacts on project sites within different regions of Europe, where extreme weather patterns are evolving. By incorporating sustainability principles into the design process, we can effectively assess associated risks and develop mitigation plans. Our approach aligns with the growing emphasis on sustainable design practices outlined in European government policies and corporate risk management strategies.

Throughout the webinar, RWDI will present a series of European case studies, offering practical examples that highlight the benefits of resilience and sustainability strategies in real-life projects. These case studies will provide valuable lessons learned, showcasing innovative solutions and best practices. Attendees will gain a deeper understanding of how to plan, design, construct, and operate buildings and structures that can withstand the challenges of climate change while maximizing sustainability.
