ZERO CO2 Resilient Communities
A step beyond: from the green building to the blue living
ZERO CO2 is a revolutionary approach to the concept of social housing.
Dignity is the basis of every civil society.
SMART TECHNOLOGIES FOR SOCIAL HOUSING

Human production and consumption are no longer sustainable. Many examples around the world show that we can mimic the designs of nature, perfected over millions of years, in our production - using the waste of one product as input to another. These innovations will revolutionize the industries in which they are applied, making the consumption of these products a positive action. In this way it will be possible to live sustainably, responding to all the basic needs of water, food, energy, health and housing. Thinking in systems and cycles, we become witnesses of the dawn of the third industrial revolution !

Welcome to our concept
Resilient communities are those that can withstand and recover from shocks and stresses, such as natural disasters, economic downturns, and social upheavals. In developing countries, where these challenges are often more severe and frequent, building resilience is crucial for ensuring the well-being of individuals and communities.
We explore the concept of resilient community in developing countries, discuss the challenges faced by these communities, identify the key characteristics of resilient communities, and explore strategies for building resilience.
Let's change the paradigm. Everyone can have a better life.
Our philosophy
We approach each project with emotion and enthusiasm and we are always on the research and development of new products, innovative materials, and cutting-edge technologies.
What is Resilience
Resilience refers to the ability of individuals and communities to adapt and bounce back from adversity. In the context of developing countries, resilience is particularly important because these communities face a range of challenges that can undermine their well-being and development.
Challenges faced by Dev Countries
Developing countries face a range of challenges that can undermine their resilience and impede their development. These challenges include poverty, lack of access to basic services such as healthcare and education, inadequate infrastructure, and exposure to natural disasters and other shocks.
In many developing countries, a large proportion of the population lives in poverty and lacks access to basic services. This can make it difficult for individuals and communities to cope with shocks and stresses, as they may lack the resources and support networks needed to recover.
Characteristics of Resilient Communities
Resilient communities share several key characteristics that enable them to adapt and recover from adversity. These include social cohesion, adaptive capacity, resourcefulness, and innovation.
A community with strong social cohesion is better able to mobilize its members and resources to respond to crises. A community with adaptive capacity has the ability to learn from past experiences and adjust its strategies accordingly. And a community that is resourceful and innovative can find new ways to address challenges and create opportunities for growth and development.
Building Resilient Communities
Building resilient communities requires a range of strategies and interventions that address the specific needs and challenges of each community. Some effective strategies include community-based initiatives, disaster risk reduction, capacity building, and investment in infrastructure and services.
Community-based initiatives that involve local residents in decision-making and problem-solving can help build social cohesion and promote sustainable development.
