CSaP: The Science & Policy Podcast
Science Policy & Climate Resilience: Built Environment
How can our built environment adapt to the impacts of climate change? What needs to be done to decarbonise the industry to future-proof our urban, rural and coastal environments and what can new development look like in our race to resilience?
