If the world continues on the trajectory of 1.5°C warming by 2030, almost half of the global population will be exposed to a climate hazard (McKinsey, 2021). Protecting our bodies against temperature variance, pollution and environmental change will soon be a daily reality, necessitating the development of future-facing defensive products and services.

Some 38% of carbon emissions are generated by the global building sector (Unep, 2020), driving the need for new climate-conscious construction. From carbon-sequestering projects to temperature-regulating materials and disaster-centric design, sustainable adaptations in the built environment can create notable impact.
