The intention of Amie’s PhD research is to understand how the building sector can create a meaningful balance between climate mitigation and climate change adaptation. The aim is to improve the ability of investors, developers, engineers and other key decision-makers to deliver projects that address both mitigation and adaptation aspects. This research could also contribute to our overall understanding of how to better integrate sustainability decisions within the complex real estate sector.
