Tool GFDRR
This tool promotes the enhancement of resilient, green, and inclusive built environments. It provides tools to support governments in assessing regulatory standards for construction and to identify gaps and opportunities for implementing climate resilience.[1]
Guidance Schuldt et al.
This report synthesises findings from 3,200+ construction studies, identifying extreme temperatures, precipitation, and high winds as the primary weather drivers of schedule delays, workforce productivity loss, and materials and equipment damage on construction sites. It provides the empirical foundation to justify climate risk preparedness in construction planning.[2]
Guidance ICSI
This guide bridges the gap between risk assessment and construction specification, offering port-specific resilience options (Table 6.1) including heat-resistant material requirements and digital infrastructure adaptation measures (Box 2.2), making it an actionable port resource for practitioners defining Quality Control and Quality Assurance (QC/QA) requirements.[3]
Guidance European Commission
This guidance integrates climate proofing with project cycle management, environmental impact assessments (EIA), and strategic environmental assessments (SEA) processes. It serves as a mandatory compliance framework for any infrastructure project seeking EU funding (InvestEU, CEF, ERDF, Cohesion Fund).[4]
Guidance UNEP
This guide provides an overview of fundamental types of resilience interventions at the building scale with specific approaches for building envelope, roof, structure, orientation, and materials. Although tailored toward a developing country context, the majority of techniques can be upscaled and applied to any context.[5]
