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

21 days 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.

Sustainable construction is entering a results‑driven stage defined by regulation, verifiable data, and measurable reductions in the carbon footprint of construction. The UN Global Status Report for Buildings and Construction highlights that the sector, which generates almost forty per cent of global CO₂ emissions, is beginning to reduce its overall energy demand through Whole Life Carbon Assessment, low embodied carbon materials, and advanced retrofit strategies. Governments facing the environmental impact of construction are tightening performance codes and linking finance to proven carbon footprint reduction, transforming sustainability from aspiration into obligation.

Innovation in materials is accelerating, with green concrete, renewable building materials, and circular construction strategies demonstrating commercial viability. Embodied carbon in materials is now a primary metric for procurement, supported by environmental product declarations (EPDs) and life cycle thinking in construction. The shift towards eco‑friendly construction is reinforcing the growth of energy‑efficient buildings and low carbon building solutions benchmarked using BREEAM and the forthcoming BREEAM v7 standard.

Across Europe and Asia, scalable production of low carbon construction materials is enabling the expansion of net zero carbon buildings and sustainable building practices. Developers are adopting whole life carbon analysis and life cycle cost reviews to ensure resource efficiency in construction and achieve compliance with net zero whole life carbon frameworks. Sustainable building design now merges ecological restoration and flood resilience within green infrastructure programmes, reflecting sustainable urban development as a form of ecosystem engineering.

The trajectory of the built environment is clear: decarbonising the built environment demands carbon neutral construction, circular economy in construction planning, and transparent sustainable material specification throughout the design process. The focus on building lifecycle performance embeds environmental sustainability in construction as a fixed criterion for investment, underpinning a shift towards a verifiable, low carbon future for global green construction.
