As extreme weather events become our new normal through climate change, building resilience is key for businesses, communities and public services across the UK.  

Technology is playing an increasingly vital role in strengthening climate resilience, from advanced data modelling to digital infrastructure that enhances real-time response. However, resilience also requires investment, collaboration, and long-term planning.  

Join techUK and leading experts to explore how we can accelerate climate resilience efforts, the role of technology in adaptation and preparedness, and the investment needed to secure a more sustainable future. 

Event description:  

As the UK pushes forward with a major focus on infrastructure projects and economic growth initiatives, ensuring that this progress is both sustainable and resilient to climate risks is more important than ever. While technology is unlocking new ways to predict, prepare for, and respond to climate challenges, scaling these solutions requires strategic investment and long-term collaboration between industry and government. 

This webinar will examine how climate resilience can be embedded into national and local strategies, balancing the drive for infrastructure and economic expansion with the urgent need for sustainability.
