- Housing and climate change are inextricably linked. According to the United Nations, 3 billion people around the world will need access to adequate shelter by 2030. Bold action must address this growing gap, and at the same time, meaningfully advance mitigation and adaptation efforts globally.
Join Habitat for Humanity International on December 8, 10:30 - 11:30 am ET / 4:30 - 5:30 pm CET for +You: Building for the future: prioritizing climate resilient housing around the world. This virtual panel will explore takeaways from COP27, the U.N. climate conference, examine the impacts of climate change on vulnerable communities and discuss the importance of prioritizing integrated approaches that center around people.
This conversation is part of Habitat for Humanity’s ongoing +You series bringing together experts from across the U.S. and around the world to discuss how housing intersects and interacts with other areas of societal concern including public health, racial equity, faith and the economy.
On Joseph's point for how can the COP meetings be more 'solution' driven?
I think more emphasis on awarding and advertising groundbreaking design & community interventions. A focus on where exceptional 'action' has been achieved that will give rise to new ideas.
An award system recognised like the Nobel Peace Prize, or public recognition of awards like the BAFTA's as an advertising mechanism! Would fuel commercial interest within the global design community and the general public. Awarding particular governments or municipalities could also drive public sector incentive on the global stage.
Many construction & design firms in the developed world want to do more. If the opportunity exists for global AND local companies to gain brand recognition alongside improving our communities, then it will create a win - win situation for communities in need and the design companies that have the knowledge and skills to deliver lasting change.
