Webinar: Resilient design considerations under climate change in Southeast Asia

20-04-2026

Learn how climate resilient design can help futureproof buildings and infrastructure in Southeast Asia. This webinar explores climate risks, practical design responses and assessment approaches, including tools such as IFC’s Building Resilience Index, with real examples from Vietnam and the Philippines.

Modern climate‑resilient buildings in Southeast Asia showcasing resilient design for infrastructure under climate change

Strengthening climate resilience in Southeast Asia

Southeast Asia countries are among the world’s most climate‑exposed countries, facing rising threats from typhoons, flooding, heat stress and sea‑level rise. As these hazards intensify, developers, building owners, and investors increasingly require clear, reliable frameworks to assess hazard exposure and practical ways to embed resilience into design and delivery.

This webinar brings together experts from Haskoning, the International Finance Corporation (IFC) and Gemalink to share practical approaches to climate resilient design for buildings and infrastructure. The session will also explore how the Building Resilience Index (BRI), developed by IFC, helps to assess building resilience against climate and geoseismic hazards and serves as a reference for investment decisions.

What you’ll learn:

What resilient infrastructure and buildings look like in practice
Why climate hazard data and risk assessments are becoming essential for developers and investors
How hazards such as flooding, heat and sea-level rise influence design decisions
Step‑by‑step insight into applying the Building Resilience Index (BRI)
How developers in Southeast Asia countries are already adopting resilience measures
How resilience assessments can support financing and investment decisions for project development
Practical guidance on integrating resilience into design, construction and operations
