Climate risk assessment in the construction and architecture industry (using the example of a specific sub-sector in the construction and architecture industry or geographical region)

Development of adaptation strategies for construction and architecture” is aimed at forming in the students a systematic understanding of the impacts of climate change on construction sites, architectural solutions and the urban environment, as well as at developing practical skills in assessing the adaptation potential of territories and buildings. As part of the training, participants master methods for identifying key climate risks (overheating, flooding, extreme precipitation, water shortages, increased noise and heat load) and learn to integrate these factors into the design, construction and urban development processes.

Training is important for the organization and the region, as it allows to increase the resilience of buildings and urban systems to climate change, reduce potential economic losses and social risks, and ensure compliance with modern national and European approaches to sustainable development. For Ukrainian regions facing a combination of climate challenges, urbanization pressure and the consequences of war damage, knowledge of adaptation is critically necessary for the restoration and long-term development of territories.

As a result of completing the module, participants will be able to reasonably formulate adaptation and mitigation strategies, integrate climate criteria into design decisions, and contribute to the implementation of sustainable, safe, and comfortable buildings and urban spaces that meet community needs and climate security requirements.
