Due to climate change, the intensity, duration, frequency, and location of adverse and extreme weather events are increasing. Accordingly, both public and private sector organizations must take proactive measures to prepare for climate risks. Infrastructure standards and building codes support citizens’ and communities’ health, safety, environment, and welfare. Overall, building code developers and researchers worldwide must address current and future challenges of weather hazards. A global consortium of building code developers and researchers formed the Global Resiliency Dialogue group to leverage building and climate science to inform building code development and improve adverse weather resilience. In the “Findings on Changing Risk and Building Codes” summary, the group outlines objectives and defines strategies for this purpose.
