The built environment has a vital role to play in responding to the climate and biodiversity emergencies. There is a pressing need for architects and industry professionals to acquire the skills and knowledge to design buildings that deliver holistic sustainable outcomes, meeting the RIBA 2030 Climate Challenge and mandatory competence in climate literacy. This book is organised around six overarching topics: human factors; circular economy; energy & carbon; water ecology & biodiversity; and connectivity & transport. Each section will guide you through fundamental elements and competencies for creating an integrated sustainable design and delivery framework that can be implemented in your practice.
