Sustainable Construction and Resilience in the Built Environment

Human activities play a significant role in contributing to rising global temperatures, increased carbon emissions, and a loss of biodiversity. Since nearly 40% of carbon emissions are linked to the built environment, the construction sector is shifting towards more sustainable practices in both new projects and renovations. Thanks to innovative techniques and modern building approaches, a whole new language has emerged—and this podcast is here to help you understand it.

Resilience refers to the capacity to endure and bounce back from challenging situations. In the context of construction and architecture, this concept is becoming increasingly important, especially when it comes to preparing for and adapting to extreme weather events. But how can we build resilience into our structures and spaces? That’s exactly what we’ll explore in this episode.
