J.S. Held

As extreme weather events due to potential climate change increasingly become the norm, the construction industry is confronting new challenges. Consequently, the industry is adapting to the resulting impact on costs, the growing number of claims, and new technology.

In this podcast interview, Daniel Miles speaks with Ruth Keating and Camilla ter Haar of the barristers’ chambers, 39 Essex, to examine the emerging issues that potential climate change is bringing to the day-to-day business of construction.

Among the topics discussed are:

  • The effect of potential climate change on the construction procurement process
  • Mitigation adaptation
  • Difficulties arising from new technologies to forecast extreme weather events
  • The transfer of risks down the supply chain from employers to contractors
  • The increase in claims by contractors to recover costs
