dc.descriptionImproving housing resilience to climate change, however, is easier to be said than be done. It requires a spectrum of policy measures, some, such as secure land tenureship has been a socioeconomic contest in developing countries for decades, others, such as land use planning and construction code enforcement are still at their infant stages with experiences accumulated through learning by doing. It also requires substantive technical capability to incorporate climatic conditions into material selection and architectural design so houses can survive the next flood and roofs won’t be blown away by the next cyclone. This technical knowledge will also need to be widely spread, so people who continue to construct their own houses can easily adopt simple techniques to improve housing capacity to deal with intense weather events. But most importantly affordability of resilient housing is paramount, be it new construction or retrofitting existing homes.en
