The Challenge of a Changing Environment
Climate change is one of the biggest challenges of our time. The impacts from a changing climate will affect both built environments and the natural world, requiring a new holistic approach to adaptation and the establishment ofc All decisions relating to the built environment, future planning of our cities, assessments of environmental impacts, identifying risks, setting standards and codes, are made based on data and knowledge of the past. The future will be very different and the challenges we face in a changing environment, from the degrading of ecosystems to a drastic change in the climate, will force us to consider a new knowledge system. Resilience comes from having the capacity to mitigate and diminish impacts or to adapt to change. It signifies the capacity of a system to absorb disturbances and surprises, achieving a state of dynamic equilibrium, that enables systems to grow and evolve while keeping their coherence. In the face of a rapid changing climate, this is indeed a complex, magnitude in scale, global issue. Due to the complexity of climate change and its related impacts, in this chapter we explore impacts and issues that will assist in framing the overall narrative in relation how we need to consider the application of fundamental patterns as part of the regenerative-adaptive pattern language approach, to adapt to a challenging and changing environment. The chapter concludes with the fundamental pattern Climate Change Co-Adaptation [3], informing us that adaptation practice needs to include both humans and nature.
