Wood and The Resilience Shift create strategic partnership to showcase resilience
Under the partnership, Wood and The Resilience Shift aim to stimulate and profile the best and most pioneering work in resilience through a global annual showcase that will inspire those working within and for critical infrastructure systems to embed resiliency thinking and practice into their day-to-day work.
"With work already under way on a green recovery, this is the moment to ensure that it is also a resilient recovery. The future of cities and communities globally relies on infrastructure that is not only safe and sustainable, but also resilient and inclusive."

Jo da Silva: Resilience and the Decade of Action
Resilience is a cross cutting element of the UN’s sustainable development goals – from access to clean water and energy to creating sustainable cities and communities.

WFEO climate stories: UK
The UK has commitments in place to reduce carbon emissions to 0% by 2050. However to achieve this, carbon reduction needs to be embedded in the planning, design and whole life of assets. Engineers have a key role to play in enabling this to happen by understanding how climate change affects their roles in terms of mitigation and adaptation. WFEO committee member Davide Stronati examines the climate change position in the UK.

WFEO climate stories: Kenya
Kenya has experienced an increase in droughts and floods in the last few years due to the effects of climate change. WFEO Engineering and the Environment committee member Christine Adongo Ogut looks at how climate change is affecting Kenya, and what is being done to reduce carbon emissions in the latest WFEO climate stories blog curated by ICE.

The planet may be over 60% covered by seawater, but fresh #water is a precious resource. In fact 60% of the global population is projected to live in water-stressed areas by 2025. The @50LHome initiative is aiming to tackle this - here's how: https://www.resilienceshift.org/domestic-water-use-and-urban-water-resilience/
