Tunley Environmental to Mark Earth Day with Free CPD-Certified Webinar on Climate Risk and Resilience

2 months ago

To coincide with Earth Day 2026, leading sustainability consultancy Tunley Environmental is hosting a free CPD-certified webinar titled "Climate Risk Assessments and Resilience Planning for Business", designed to help organisations move from climate awareness to meaningful, strategic action.

Earth Day, observed globally on 22nd April, serves as a global reminder of the urgent need to address climate change. However, for many organisations, the challenge lies in understanding how climate risk translates into real business impacts. From extreme weather events disrupting operations to evolving regulations and investor expectations, climate risk is rapidly becoming a core strategic concern.


Frameworks such as the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) and the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) continue to shape corporate reporting and risk management, increasing the need for organisations to demonstrate how they are identifying, assessing and mitigating climate-related risks.


This webinar will explore how businesses can take a structured, data-driven approach to climate risk, embedding it into decision-making processes and long-term strategy. It will cover:


  • What a climate risk assessment and resilience plan are, and how they support better business decision-making
  • What the main climate risks are and how they might affect your business
  • How resilience plans can reduce the impact of climate risks to your business
  • The key global frameworks and standards shaping climate risk assessments, including CSRD, TCFD and SECR
  • Why climate risk and resilience planning are becoming critical services for organisations and which sectors are most impacted
  • An overview of Tunley's climate risk and resilience services and the typical process involved
  • Insights from a real-world case study and how climate risk assessment supported their resilience planning


The webinar will also include an interactive Q&A session with Tunley Environmental's sustainability experts.


Attendance is free, but advance registration is required.

The sustainable construction industry is entering a decisive stage driven by the shift from symbolic sustainability to measurable performance. The adoption of BREEAM V7 and the expansion of whole life carbon assessment across portfolios indicate a turning point where environmental sustainability in construction is embedded into financial risk management. Certification frameworks increasingly use third‑party verification to track embodied carbon and the carbon footprint of construction, ensuring that sustainability claims withstand regulatory and investor scrutiny.

Rising demand for circular economy in construction models shows how the sector is responding to pressure for material efficiency. Design teams are integrating eco‑design for buildings, sustainable material specification, and end‑of‑life reuse in construction principles to support a genuinely circular economy. Modular systems, renewable building materials, and low carbon construction materials are being assessed through lifecycle assessment and life cycle cost modelling, linking performance to long‑term asset value. Resource efficiency in construction is now treated as a mainstream design objective tied to broader goals of low carbon design and decarbonising the built environment.

Digital innovation—including AI‑led tracking of waste flows—supports the shift toward whole life carbon accountability and transparent supply chains. The sector recognises that effective sustainable building practices depend on verifiable data and continuous monitoring of building lifecycle performance. Still, updated climate accounting standards highlight that net zero whole life carbon ambitions must cover the full impact of embodied carbon in materials, addressing hidden pollutants often overlooked in sustainable building design frameworks.

As net zero carbon buildings and low carbon building strategies mature, the market expects designers and developers to align sustainable design and green construction with robust measurement. The evolution of sustainable architecture signals that eco‑friendly construction is no longer aspirational rhetoric but measurable responsibility. The global construction sector is moving rapidly toward integrated life cycle thinking in construction, where carbon neutral construction and green building materials define mainstream value rather than niche innovation.
