The UK Green Building Council (UKGBC) has announced the organisations who will help steer the Resilience and Nature programme over the next year.
UKGBC’s Resilience and Nature programme launched in 2021 and aims to support the built environment sector in achieving our ambition that ‘by 2030, all buildings and infrastructure will, throughout their lifetime, be climate-resilient and maximise environmental net gains, through the prioritisation of Nature-based Solutions’.
UKGBC is delighted to announce the following organisations as Resilience and Nature programme partners:
Spanning a wide range of sectors, the diversity of knowledge and expertise provided by the R&N Programme Partners will help drive forward greater action to increase the resilience of built assets to climate change and maximise environmental net gains through the built environment. Their generous support will enable UKGBC to use its convening power to foster cross-sector collaboration and help tackle and overcome current challenges facing the industry.
In collaboration with the Partners, UKGBC has identified the following as key priorities for the R&N programme over the next year:
For other organisations who wish to get involved in the programme, there are still Programme Partnership spaces available and the opportunity to be involved as a Project Partner for specific projects, as well as through joining various Task Groups or Review Groups.
If you would like to find out more about the programme’s work to date, including past outputs and other helpful resources such as our Course Mail series, please visit the Resilience and Nature homepage.
Alastair Mant, Director of Business Transformation, UKGBC: “To date, much of industry’s climate focus has centred around cutting carbon and meeting net zero. However, there is a growing understanding and realisation of the need to ensure our buildings, infrastructure and communities can adapt to the already changing climate.
“Alongside this is the realisation that the property and construction industry must also play a significant role in protecting our diminishing wildlife and natural capital. Often, nature-based solutions can solve both challenges.
“Our Resilience and Nature programme partners will play a pivotal role shaping UKGBC’s work and supporting our ambition for the sector.”
