Abstract
The built environment encompasses residential and non-residential buildings, and communities, cultural heritage and public services. Adapting the UK’s building stock to address long-term climate risks presents significant challenges, particularly in identifying appropriate measures for risk reduction. This chapter assesses the risks to buildings, particularly those associated with heat, flooding and extreme weather conditions, and downstream impacts.
