Climate London report on social housing and climate change
People living in social housing, many of them vulnerable, are dependent on landlords to prepare their properties for floods, heatwaves and droughts.
Much of the UK’s social housing provision was built before the impacts of our changing climate were known, and need updating to cope with increased temperatures and extreme weather events.
Adapting social housing to cope with the extreme weather events had not previously been tested on a large scale – the report, Your social housing in a changing climate from Climate London, explores adaptation work and improvements to two blocks of flats in the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham.
