    There is no climate panacea, only baskets of solutions. Bamboo has remarkable properties from an engineering pov - strong light hollow tubes, and so could be used more to substitute for plastics and metals, in relatively short-lived products (which most are). You are right that it’s not so durable as wood from trees, and it’s more suited to wet climates. I have several kinds in my garden, green in winter, grape vines dangle along it in summer, a shallow root barrier (old tiles) contain it.
