Adaptation & resilience in a changing climate
Adaptation and Resilience in a Changing Climate (ARCC) brings together research projects involving existing buildings and infrastructure, including transport and water resource systems in the urban environment. The £6M programme will enable the design of urban systems that are more resilient to climate change.
ARCC has been developed in order to build upon on the successes of the EPSRC/UKCIP programme Building Knowledge for a Changing Climate (BKCC) and the knowledge transfer and networking activity Sustaining Knowledge for a Changing Climate (SKCC).
ARCC is part of Living with Environment Change (LWEC) – a ten-year
programme to provide decision makers with information to manage and
protect vital ecosystem services. LWEC
will improve tools and knowledge needed to build resilience, mitigate
problems, and adapt to environmental change. ARCC research relates to
the LWEC strategic objective:
"To
make infrastructure, the built environment and transport systems
resilient to environmental change and develop more sustainable, less
energy-intensive systems and approaches that are socially acceptable,
economically advantageous and more environmentally harmonious"
