Climate Change Risk Adaptation with Baroness Brown of Cambridge, Julia King, Chair of the Adaption Committee on the Climate Change Committee and the Carbon Trust and Anna Clare Harper.

In Anna's words:

I was honoured to have Baroness Brown of Cambridge DBE FREng FRS, Julia King on the podcast to talk about adapting to climate change risk in real estate.

She's currently Chair of the Adaptation Committee of the UK Climate Change Committee, which she has been a member of since it was formed in 2008. She also chairs the Carbon Trust, is a non-executive director of Ørsted and of Ceres Power and a member of the Government’s Hydrogen Advisory Committee. Previous roles include as the UK’s Low Carbon Business Ambassador, Non-Executive Director of the Offshore Renewable Energy Catapult and of the Green Investment Bank.

So, she’s extremely well-qualified to talk about climate change and what we need to do now to reduce its impacts, with a particular focus on housing.

Key topics include:

• What risks we need to prepare for and how - including over-heating in homes, climate change ghettoisation and poorly adapted office to residential conversions
• Hazards, exposure and vulnerability
• Creating the right kinds of policy in pursuit of a clear vision so that we adapt and minimise climate change risks, without adverse consequences
