Infrastructure is key to the economic, social and environmental sustainability of the UK. We face a climate change future which will have potentially significant impacts for construction not just in terms of what and how we build, but also in terms of risk and value in use.

Blue & Green Infrastructure: preparing for climate change

Wednesday 03 March
10.30 - 12.00 - Chelsea Room

The potential benefits of “blue” infrastructure, such as sustainable drainage systems (SUDS), and “green” infrastructure, in the form of green corridors or trees in the urban landscape, are beginning to be recognized as key strategies for climate change adaptation and mitigation. Join us to discuss with key industry players how we can create sustainable infrastructure.
