Climate has changed significantly. Adaptation to the new climate, and the climate that will emerge over the next few decades, is utmost urgent. The CoP in this VCC is aiming to identify the most urgent social and economic transformations required to share the increasing climate-related risks in a just and equitable way, change processes so that communities are prepared for the increasing disasters caused by a changed spectrum of extreme weather events, and prepare the built environment for the current and future climate. We aim to identify the transformations required in climate adaptation of communities, their built environment, their social processes, and their economy, and we work to develop pathways for these transformations.
If you are concerned about the preparedness of your community for the next unprecedented extreme weather event then join us here and work with us to find ways to increase the preparedness.

[Nov. 04, 2024] Why Did so Many Die in Spain?: Friederike Otto, the founder of World Weather Attribution, asks this important question in her article published today in the Guardian, and she provides the answer: “Because Europe still hasn’t accepted the realities of extreme weather.” In fact, the people and governments in most countries have not accepted the reality of the new - and still changing - climate. Awareness is lacking and urgent adaptation is not happening.
