MetaInfrastructure is pleased to highlight a new open-access article published in Sustainable Development:
“Enhancing Sustainability and Resilience Against Natural Hazards of the Built Environment — State of the Art and Development of a Novel Framework.”
The paper introduces a transparent, practical two-step framework that unifies sustainability and resilience assessment across the full life cycle of buildings and infrastructure. It:
- incorporates social impacts alongside environmental and economic dimensions,
- accounts for performance evolution over time, not just a single snapshot,
- and supports proactive, risk-aware decision-making for policymakers, engineers, and asset managers.
As climate change intensifies natural hazards, the framework offers a structured path to reduce risk while advancing long-term sustainability goals.
