Centre For Climate Repair Cambridge, Dr Shaun Fitzgerald OBE | Flipping buildings from carbon source to sink

Back on Patreon: https://patreon.com/genncc Visit website: https://genn.cc Centre for Climate Repair: https://www.climaterepair.eng.cam.ac.uk/ In this episode of Shaping The Future, I am speaking with the Director of the Centre for Climate Repair in Cambridge, Dr Shaun Fitzgerald about how buildings can be adapted for climate resilience and the potential for flipping them from carbon sources to carbon sinks. With many of the world's largest future cities yet to be built and much of the existing infrastructure in developed countries being unfit for extreme climate scenarios, it is essential that building development projects and innovation are able to meet and beat the challenges that lay ahead. Recent extreme climate catastrophes demonstrate that we need to start adapting to climate change right now and at scale. The theme of adaptation planning is one that I will be exploring more in the coming weeks.
