Adapting Buildings and Cities for Climate Change - presentation abstract

We all know that the world is changing fast and four events inparticular really have really made us sit up and think about the future.

The first was the effect of the European heat wave of July 2003 that killed over 35,000 people. Of these, 15,000 alone lived in France, mainly the vulnerable and elderly and many living on the top floors of block structures with un-insulated metal roofs. The second event happened a month later with the August 2003 power failure that affected over 50 million people in the eastern seaboard area of the United States. Again the buildings there failed to provide adequate shelter against extreme 'events.' The third event that shocked the world was the day the levees breached in New Orleans and here it was the city that failed to protect its people. The fourth is ongoing and has been the continual rise of oil and gas prices around the world, heralding that the fact that we are already over 'Peak Oil;' as a planet we are quite simply beginning to run out of oil and gas.

In her presentation, Sue Roaf will discuss a range of building and climate- related risks that individuals in Arizona may be facing in the future. She will outline action plans that homeowners and legislators can begin to take to future-proof lifestyles in the Phoenix metropolitan valley and elsewhere for the predictable and growing challenges of the 21st century.
