This UNEP publication shows how buildings and community spaces can be constructed to increase their resilience to climate change, particularly in developing countries where structures are largely self-built. The practical guide offers construction solutions to adapt to different risks in different climates. For example, it shows us how to reduce indoor heat in hot, arid climates, or how to mitigate the impacts of cyclones on buildings in hot, humid climates.
