Climate risk, resilience and adaptation
The built environment accounts for nearly a quarter of total global greenhouse gas emissions.

Meaningful, workable action on climate change depends on our participation.
A more equitable future is within reach. First, we must harness the enormous potential of the 21st century’s people, places and spaces. #WBEF
