A call for climate resilience in the construction industry

The Canadian Construction Association (CCA) has recently released a critical report highlighting the urgent need for increased investment and stronger policies to protect its people and their critical infrastructure from the increasing threats of climate change. It’s a report which could be applied to almost any country in the world and is yet another wake up call for all of us in the building business.

The Canadian report, entitled "Climate resilience in construction - Building for a sustainable future," emphasises the importance of building resilient infrastructure that can withstand extreme weather events, protect lives and support community well-being.

The construction industry plays a vital role in shaping our built environment by ensuring the resilience of our communities, however, the increasing frequency and intensity of climate-related disasters, such as flooding, wildfires and extreme heat, are posing significant challenges to infrastructure and safety.
