Green Building Council of Australia have developed Climate Positive Roadmaps for the built environment. Their roadmaps and papers are a great resource, that establish the steps required for the built environment to decarbonise new and existing buildings and precincts. Check out the Green Building Council of Australia's resources: - Climate positive roadmap for precincts - A Climate Positive Roadmap for the built environment - Climate Positive Buildings and our Net Zero Ambitions - Climate Positive Pathway for existing buildings - Embodied Carbon and Embodied Energy in Australia's Buildings They have been developed in close consultation with industry and government, the roadmaps plot a world-leading path to ensure we can achieve our 2050 goals.

The European Environment Agency has published its latest report addressing the environmental and climate footprint of #buildings 🏢 EEA assesses the current state of Europe’s buildings stock and looks at what is needed to make Europe’s buildings more sustainable. 🌱 𝐊𝐞𝐲 𝐦𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐬: 🔸Buildings represent over 30% of the EU's environmental footprint, making them the sector with the highest impact. 🔸EU policies currently address aspects such as energy efficiency and waste management, but a unified strategy covering all life cycle stages is needed to optimise synergies and reduce trade-offs. 🔸The future should prioritise renovation and low-impact construction, emphasising energy efficiency and climate resilience while incorporating nature-based solutions. #ECDB #CDW #Building #circularity #construction

Climate Change and the Future of UK Construction: R&W Group's Insights 🌍 How is climate change reshaping the UK building industry? Our latest blog explores this crucial topic: • Changing rainfall patterns and their impact on construction • Rising sea levels and coastal development challenges • New regulations driving industry innovation • R&W Group's role in sustainable construction practices At R&W Environmental, we're proud to recycle over 98% of construction waste, contributing to a more sustainable future. Meanwhile, R&W Langley is incorporating climate resilience into infrastructure designs. Climate change presents challenges, but also opportunities for innovation. Discover how the UK construction industry is adapting and leading the way towards a more sustainable, resilient future. Read the full article on our website https://lnkd.in/eDzafgBs  to learn more about how we're tackling these challenges head-on. #ClimateChange #SustainableConstruction #RWGroup #IndustryInnovation

Buildings are major polluters: The construction industry contributes nearly 40% of global CO2 emissions. To meet climate goals, this sector needs significant changes. Focus on new construction: Since 70% of future buildings haven't been built yet, there's a huge opportunity to design them with lower carbon footprints. GGGI prioritizes low-carbon construction: This organization emphasizes shifting the building and infrastructure sectors towards less carbon-intensive practices as a key strategy for tackling climate change by 2030. #Konsilyum

Addressing the climate crisis requires collaboration between the public and private sectors to reduce carbon emissions in the construction industry. Government policies and incentives support technologies like carbon capture, utilization, and storage, but private investment is crucial for scaling these technologies and fostering innovation. Working together, we can make a meaningful impact on sustainable construction practices. https://hubs.ly/Q02PWMC10 #ClimateAction #Sustainability #ConstructionIndustry

At the same time, there are numerous office spaces that could be converted into residences. 🔍 Dive into Katie Thisdell's article, based on research by Metabolic, Copper8, NIBE Group, and Alba Concepts. to explore six main strategies for reducing CO2 emissions, material consumption, and the total environmental impact. #SustainableHousing #CircularEconomy #GreenBuilding #UrbanPlanning #EnvironmentalImpact

Sustainable construction is essential for a greener, healthier, and more resilient future. By embracing eco-friendly practices, the construction industry can significantly reduce its environmental impact and contribute to the global effort against climate change. The journey towards sustainability in construction is a collective endeavor that requires commitment, innovation, and collaboration from all sectors of society. As we build the future, let us ensure it is one where both people and the planet can thrive #SustainableConstruction #GreenBuilding #EcoFriendlyConstruction

New report tackling carbon reduction in the landscape sector launched by Landscape Institute and British Association of Landscape Industries. ‘Landscape and Carbon’ is a vital new report on carbon reduction in the UK landscape sector by the Landscape Institute (LI) and the British Association of Landscape Industries (BALI). A direct response to the UK’s target to reach net zero by 2050, the report sets out the climate action the sector is taking, and how landscape can provide solutions for reducing and sequestering carbon in development. The report is a call to action for the landscape sector, and wider industry, to work...

Here's a short piece I wrote on the exciting launch of UK Architects Declare's 'Building Blocks' Report and how we transform the built environment to tackle the climate emergency. It's time for a paradigm shift— we must prioritise resource efficiency, advocate for legislative changes, and transition to a circular economy. It's in our gift to turn a climate catastrophe into a climate opportunity! #Sustainability #ClimateAction #BuiltEnvironment https://lnkd.in/eDnH-67w
