There is a pressing need for all the industry professionals to acquire the requisite knowledge and skills to design and deliver built environments that respond to increasing demands of our world while ensuring holistic, sustainable outcomes are consistently achieved.
Contextualising the climate emergency and the UN Sustainable Development Goals for 2030 within the built environment landscape, the guide is structured around the six, core themes of the Climate Framework which include:
- human factors
- circular economy
- energy and carbon
