Resilient Housing Recovery: Practical Solutions for Climate Disasters

Communities today face the combined pressures of the climate crisis and the global housing crisis. Recovery efforts that fail to address these interconnected challenges risk leaving people in unsafe, inadequate, and increasingly vulnerable housing conditions.  

This session showcases practical approaches that place housing at the centre of post-disaster recovery, delivering safe, resilient, and inclusive homes while strengthening communities’ capacity to adapt and withstand future climate and disaster-related shocks.
