From the Code of Hammurabi to Future Code: Building Regulations for Resilient, Green and Inclusive Built Environment
Rapid urbanization and increased risks from the impacts of climate change and natural hazards in low- and middle-income countries, requires building regulations and their implementation mechanisms to improve and adapt to ensure safe, comfortable and healthy environments for people to live and work. This session, co-hosted by International Association for Earthquake Engineering (IAEE) Central Office and GFDRR’s Building Regulation for Resilience team, will shed the light on the evolution of buildings codes, their current status based on recent studies, and future needs to adapt to climate change impacts and increasing disaster risk to work towards a more resilient, green and inclusive built environment.
Organized by: GFDRR/World Bank and International Association for Earthquake Engineering Central Office
