NCC Urbanism Lab Webcast – Adapting to extremes: Climate change projections and urban adaptation
Presented by the National Capital Commission
Climate change is compelling communities around the world to rethink how they build for the future. Part of this process involves mapping out how the climate will affect landscapes and critical infrastructure in the short and long term. This Urbanism Lab event explores how cities are using climate forecasting to make themselves more resilient to sudden and gradual changes in the natural environment.
