...Itohan Esther Aigwi; Yijun Ge; Amarachukwu Nnadozie Nwadike Purpose As climate change continues to escalate, the urgent challenge of protecting heritage structures vulnerable to earthquakes in flood-prone areas cannot be ignored. Conducting thorough vulnerability assessments is essential to tackle...

...Nour Samaro; Timo Hartmann; Fuad Baba; Susana Martín; Milad Zamanifar Purpose As climate change accelerates, the frequency and intensity of extreme heat events are rising, making it critical to assess and improve the thermal resilience of residential buildings. Current assessment methods are time...

..., advocating for innovative, climate-responsive design solutions to mitigate the environmental impact of the built environment and address challenges related to climate change and urbanization. The concept of bioclimatic design strategies has evolved significantly, driven by the growing need...

... participants also move a step further by designing their sustainability policies and frameworks which guide their organizational efforts towards sustainability (Athapaththu et al., 2016 ; Krigsvoll et al., 2010 ; Elmualim et al., 2010). Climate change Construction industry...

...Qiyao Han; Greg Keeffe Purpose Large-scale urbanisation has become a significant barrier to the natural migration of tree species, which is being exacerbated by accelerated climate change. Within this context, improving the permeability of urban landscapes is expected to be an effective strategy...

... (Biesbroek et al., 2013). These barriers also surface in spatial planning for climate adaptation. The consequences of climate change will, for the greater part, be felt in the long term. At present, climate change has a somewhat intangible nature as its impacts are not endured “here” and “now...

... that if an individual or community were to understand how their personal and/or collective behaviour potentially contributes to climate change they would be more likely to adopt ERB. Moloney et al. (2010) dispute this assumption based on evidence that it is impossible to predict how an individual...

...Rob Roggema; Pavel Kabat; Andy van den Dobbelsteen Purpose The purpose of this paper is to build a bridge between climate change adaptation and spatial planning and design. It aims to develop a spatial planning framework in which the properties of climate adaptation and spatial planning...
