Adaptation and Resilience to 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.

A coordinated network of engaged end-users has also been set up to increase the efficacy and breadth of the dissemination of research results, as well as the ability of researchers to engage potential end-users. A further benefit of the coordinating network is related to looking forward and identifying further investments in research.

This £6M programme will enable the design of urban systems that are more resilient to climate change. The programme held its inaugural event in May 2009. For more information on its projects visit the ARCC website: http://www.ukcip-arcc.org.uk/
