Deliverable D8.2 has been published as a formal MULTICLIMACT output and a milestone for a topic that affects every real intervention: supply chains. It lays out how resilience and sustainability can be analysed alongside material and component flows, so demo solutions are assessed with their delivery realities in mind.

MULTICLIMACT has released Deliverable D8.2, “Developing design methods for supporting the built environment resilience accounting for supply chains, application to a real demo case”. The deliverable positions supply chain awareness as part of design methods for resilience, and it documents a structured approach that starts with data collection and analysis and extends into supply chain mapping, resilience assessment and sustainability assessment. The table of contents shows that the work includes climate and demand analysis and forecasting for Riga, mapping of supply chains and transport infrastructure, and detailed component level sections that examine supply chain and raw materials for items such as Uponor Pipe Plus, manifolds and cabinets. It also includes sections dedicated to resilience and sustainability analysis, including material flow analysis, warehousing, scalability considerations and the integration of this thinking into BIM systems, signalling a move from conceptual supply chain discussion to something that can connect with planning tools used in practice.
As a communication milestone, D8.2 makes visible a part of resilience work that is often hidden behind technical choices, namely how materials and components travel through supply chains and what that means for reliability, scalability and long term sustainability when solutions are rolled out beyond a single site.
Led by KTH Royal Institute of Technology and NCDRS, and reviewed by partners including UKA, UMINHO and RINA C, showing the cross cutting nature of supply chain questions in resilience planning.
About MULTICLIMACT:
MULTICLIMACT is an EU-funded project aimed at safeguarding Europe’s built environment against the increasing threats of natural and climatic hazards. By uniting 25 leading European organisations, MULTICLIMACT aims to enhance resilience, sustainability, and safety for communities across the continent. Through innovative strategies, including a toolkit of 20 reliable methods and digital solutions, the project targets the urgent need for adaptive measures against floods, earthquakes, extreme weather conditions and heatwaves. Tested across four pilot sites with diverse climatic conditions, MULTICLIMACT embodies a shared vision for a safer, more resilient future, focusing on actions to reduce the impact of climate change on the built environment.
