DESCRIPTION:Housing underpins economic opportunity\, educational attainment
 \, and overall well-being\, yet the prospects for universal resilient hous
 ing are alarming. UN-Habitat estimates that by 2030\, around 3 billion peo
 ple—approximately 40% of the global population—will be living in inade
 quate housing. The financial implications are substantial\, with the World
  Bank’s GFDRR warning that the failure to invest in resilient infrastruc
 ture could cost cities $314 billion annually.\n\nEffective solutions do\, 
 in fact\, already exist. The most successful are those that meet communiti
 es where they are\, and prioritize simple\, incremental\, and scalable app
 roaches. This talk will highlight practical\, field-tested examples from B
 uild Change’s two decades of work at the intersection of policy\, financ
 e\, and technical design: from disaster-prevention programs in Colombia ai
 med at improving safety in informal neighborhoods\, to the structural retr
 ofitting of red-tagged homes in Haiti after the 2010 earthquake\, to finan
 cing climate-resilient upgrades for extreme heat in Indonesia through micr
 ofinance.\n\nTogether\, these cases illustrate what it takes to move from 
 well-intentioned plans to solutions that are viable\, adopted\, and implem
 ented at scale.
