In a CIAT collaborative event at Futurebuild 2020, key representatives from built and natural environment institutions and associations came together to lay out plans of action to mitigate against climate change.
CIAT has been approached to provide knowledge and opinions on the development of a new BSI Flex for a competence framework for sustainability in the built environment.
CIAT’s Climate Society is currently undertaking a programme of work exploring the new UK Net Zero Carbon Building Standard, and considering whether CIAT should endorse the Standard and/or support members and affiliates to deliver against it.
The UK has lost its position on climate leadership, says a new report by the Committee on Climate Change, which expresses doubts Britain will meet its net zero targets – particularly when it comes to buildings.
UKGBC says the framework is intended to provide greater clarity on how the built environment sector can contribute to the global goal of halting and reversing nature loss through practical and scalable actions.
The Construction Industry Council's (CIC) 'Carbon Zero: the professional institutions' climate action plan' has now reached 40 signatories, of which CIAT is one.
The latest Building Insights LIVE round table focused on the circular economy in construction, featuring Chris Halligan MCIAT representing CIAT and its Climate Society.
Planning policy should be changed to ensure projects are only approved when strict national carbon targets have been taken into account, a panel of experts has urged.
As part of its work implementing the Roadmap to Recovery Plan, the Construction Leadership Council (CLC) has given its backing to a National Retrofit Strategy, issued for consultation.
