Sustaining Knowledge for Climate Change (SKCC) is a EPSRC funded project which aims to sustain the research and end user community developed around the Building Knowledge for Climate Change project (BKCC).

The project will operate as a network, together with focussed review and workshop activities on topics of particular importance from the point of view of impacts of and adaptation to climate change in the built environment.

SKCC has the following three aims:

  • to sustain the researcher and end user community assembled around the BKCC programme;
  • to synthesise and disseminate results from BKCC in order to maximise impact;
  • to develop a coherent user-led plan for future research into the impacts of climate change on the built environment and infrastructure and development of adaptation solutions.
