Building Climate Resilience Where People Live: From Cliché to Concerted Action 

We all say it: we need to collaborate. It risks becoming a cliché, until you hear what it actually looks like on the ground. At a recent panel event I chaired at the South East Consortium Conference on climate resilience, housing leaders, practitioners, and allies shared lessons on flooding, overheating, nature-based fixes, and the power of joined-up data. Below is a round-up of what’s already working, what still hurts, and how we can act faster together. 

“Investing £10–15k per home in flood measures keeps water out—but it can still leave residents trapped in.” 


Key takeaway: technical fixes must be matched with place-level solutions and resident-centred planning.
