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

5 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 entering a more disciplined phase, driven by energy flexibility, regulation, data quality and climate resilience rather than a single material breakthrough. Britain’s shift to renewable electricity is exposing a critical gap in sustainable building design: homes, offices and infrastructure must operate as flexible energy assets if clean power is to reduce bills and emissions. Demand shifting, smart controls, asset data and facilities management are becoming central to net zero carbon buildings, low carbon design and the wider task of decarbonising the built environment.

Regulatory signals remain mixed. The FCA’s move from mandatory sustainability reporting for listed companies to a “comply or explain” model could weaken investor pressure at a time when construction needs stronger evidence on whole life carbon, embodied carbon, nature risk and supply-chain impacts. Credible whole life carbon assessment, lifecycle assessment and environmental product declarations (EPDs) will be essential to prove performance claims and reduce the carbon footprint of construction. The Building Safety Levy adds further cost pressure, intensifying scrutiny of how developers fund safer buildings while advancing environmental sustainability in construction.

Major infrastructure programmes, including long-term roads planning and a £4.29bn civil engineering framework, will test whether public procurement can deliver genuine green infrastructure rather than administrative efficiency alone. The sustainability value will depend on sustainable material specification, low carbon construction materials, low embodied carbon materials, circular economy in construction, resource efficiency in construction and robust whole-life performance requirements. Cambridge’s productivity measurement framework points to a practical route for cutting waste, delay and rework, reducing embodied carbon in materials and improving building lifecycle performance.

Climate adaptation is now a core construction issue. Rising UK wildfire risk demands sustainable design that accounts for planning, materials, landscape management, maintenance and insurability. Eco-design for buildings, low-impact construction, renewable building materials and circular construction strategies will need to align with resilience standards, BREEAM, BREEAM v7, life cycle cost and net zero whole life carbon targets. The direction is clear: sustainable building practices must prove operational efficiency, cut embodied carbon, support the circular economy and make the built environment financeable, insurable and buildable in harsher climate conditions.
