Submitted by nlarsson on Sat, 04/11/2020 - 15:56iiSBE has completed a major upgrade of its discussion paper, titled Plan B: Global and Regional Strategies for the Built Environment under Climate Change. This document was originally released in 2008, and has been updated every year since that time. The PPT file can be downloaded here, but remember that it is really too large to digest in one sitting.
We also attach an input form if you have relevant information about adaptation or mitigation measures in your region. If you submit the completed form we can start to produce regional versions of the main document.
