Building for Resilience: How can our UK infrastructure be future-proofed against a changing climate? Find out more in this week’s Sandbox FOMO5 episode...
The UK has seen a rise in extreme weather. Storms that were once ‘one-in-20-year' events now happen annually, while flooding and heatwaves dominate headlines. These events are no longer rare and our critical systems are under stress like never before.
Resilience and climate goals are intertwined. Without robust infrastructure, carbon reduction efforts stall, and nature-based solutions fail. The cost of inaction isn’t just financial - it is environmental and societal.
From re-defining design standards to integrating solutions across sectors, there is much that can be done to overcome these challenges.
This topic is discussed in this week’s Sandbox FOMO5, taken from our latest podcast episode, ‘Resilient by design: Infrastructure for a sustainable future’.
Joining our regular host Andy Duncan are Buro Happold experts Paula Gough, UK Infrastructure Development Director, and Chris Glover, Director, Utilities and Energy.
Subscribe to the whole series; Sometimes we’ll tackle a subject head on, sometimes a sideways view - but always with curiosity, expertise and maybe even a dash of humour.
