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

7 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.

Sustainable construction is moving from voluntary commitment to hard policy, procurement and infrastructure decisions. The proposed COP31 target for electricity to supply 35% of global energy by 2035 would accelerate the shift towards net zero carbon buildings, all-electric systems, heat pumps, smart demand management and energy-efficient buildings. Credibility depends on a rapid expansion of clean power, yet the direction for sustainable building design is clear: decarbonising the built environment now requires closer alignment between grid investment, building performance and whole life carbon.

For clients, designers and contractors, whole life carbon assessment is becoming central to investment decisions. Operational carbon will fall as grids decarbonise, but inefficient assets will continue to undermine net zero carbon goals. The sector can no longer treat energy supply, building specification and lifecycle assessment as separate disciplines. Sustainable design must address building lifecycle performance, life cycle cost, embodied carbon and the carbon footprint of construction from concept to end-of-life reuse in construction.

Regional policy is also sharpening the agenda. York and North Yorkshire’s ambition to become England’s first carbon-negative region by 2040 signals a stronger role for planning, public procurement, retrofit programmes and sustainable material specification. Future decisions are likely to be judged against regional carbon budgets rather than broad sustainability claims. That will place greater scrutiny on embodied carbon in materials, demolition, reuse, resource efficiency in construction and the real environmental impact of construction.

Industrialised and modular delivery is gaining relevance because it can support low carbon design, reduce waste, improve quality control and strengthen life cycle thinking in construction. It is not a substitute for good design, but it can make low-impact construction more measurable when paired with circular construction strategies, environmental product declarations (EPDs), low embodied carbon materials and robust performance verification. BREEAM, BREEAM v7 and wider standards will increasingly matter where investors need proof of net zero whole life carbon rather than marketing language.

The next phase of green construction will be defined by evidence. Circular economy in construction, renewable building materials, green building materials and low carbon construction materials will gain value only where they cut emissions, improve durability and support carbon footprint reduction. Eco-design for buildings, sustainable architecture and eco-friendly construction are becoming commercial requirements as much as environmental ones. The built environment is being asked to prove sustainability in steel, timber, concrete, kilowatt-hours and credible whole life carbon data.
