SUMMARY:Strengthening European Climate Resilience through the Built Environment
DESCRIPTION: \n📆 Thursday 10 December 2026, 11:00 – 13:00 CET\n\n📍Organised at the European Parliament, Brussels, Room ASP 3G3\nCLICK HERE TO REGISTER\nThe new EU Framework for Climate Resilience is the European Commission’s plan to strengthen how the EU anticipates, prepares for, and manages climate risks. It aims to establish a coherent and comprehensive approach to adaptation, including better risk assessments, stronger governance, and, crucially, the integration of resilience by design across policies and investments.\nAgainst the backdrop of increasing climate risks, this event will focus on the role of buildings as both vulnerable assets and their potential as key enablers. It will address how policy, planning, and investment decisions can better integrate built environment solutions into the EU’s preparedness and risk management approach.\nSupported by the right enabling framework, the built environment can make a significant contribution to enhancing climate resilience, helping reduce vulnerability to extreme weather and evolving conditions. Solutions such as high-performance building envelopes, deep renovation, and nature-based solutions like green roofs have the potential to improve thermal comfort of citizens in increasing volatile winters and summers, better manage water flows, and increase energy efficiency. Together, they can create more sustainable and climate-resilient urban spaces.\nAs the European Commission has just published the new EU Framework for Climate Resilience, this event offers a timely opportunity to address the critical role that the built environment can play in strengthening European climate resilience.\n \nDRAFT AGENDA\n11:00 – 11:10: Welcome and opening remarks by MEP Thomas Pellerin-Carlin (S&D)\n 11:10 – 11:20: Intervention by Elina Bardram, Director for ‘Climate Resilience and Information Management’ (Dir.
