Building Climate Adaptation Plans Workshop

Members gathered for the BBP Workshop: Building Climate Adaptation Plans, kindly hosted by Legal & General.

The session explored how members are developing and implementing climate adaptation strategies, guided by the BBP Climate Resilience Guide, and marked the launch of our new Climate Adaptation Insights One Pager.

Speakers including Emma Howard Boyd CBE, Janine Cole (GPE) and Shuen Chan ( Legal & General) shared insights on leadership and cross-sector collaboration, while breakout discussions delved into identifying physical risks, strengthening building-level resilience, and embedding adaptation into investment decisions.

Urban Climate Walking Tour

Led by Dr Julie Futcher, the BBP Urban Climate Walk invited members to explore how the City of London’s urban form influences temperature, air movement and comfort at street level.

The walk sparked lively discussion on flexible design, nature-based solutions, and the importance of early collaboration between designers and developers to enhance climate resilience.
