— Elizabeth Hausler, Founder and CEO of Build Change
Climate change is exacerbating the impact of disasters, which are becoming more frequent and more severe. Build Change and its associated Resilient Housing initiative are pioneering a movement to minimize loss and damage in the housing sector caused by climate change, and to spur governments, investors and philanthropists to advance policy and investment towards adapting houses towards a climate resilient future. Learn more about our resilient housing work.
Build Change’s newly released Make Your House Climate Resilient Game invites both longstanding housing advocates and newcomers to explore how the impacts of climate change and disasters impact housing and settlements all over the world, and learn about ways to both protect themselves and improve their own house’s resilience.
How can policy and investment in housing increase climate resilience? Find out more about the actions we’re advocating for in the Paris Agreement.

Let’s Elevate Housing on the Climate Change Agenda
Government leaders, grassroots housing advocates, homeowners, and builders all agree: together, we can impact climate change, but the time to act is now. In 2020, Build Change launched its campaign engaging public and private sector leaders on how we can prioritize housing resilience on the climate change agenda.
