Nature and biodiversity is a leading challenge for meeting decarbonisation targets and reversing the impacts of climate change on the environment. Across the globe, our industry has an imperative role to play in reducing harm and regenerating biodiversity through the way we design, construct and operate our buildings and precincts. However, as an area that can be highly localised and difficult to measure, how do we ensure biodiversity plans are valuable, effective and enduring?
This masterclass will look to demystify nature and biodiversity, exploring the national and global state of play to set a key foundation for improving your nature and biodiversity outcomes. Hear from industry experts who will highlight key strategies that can be employed within a biodiversity plan and understand how these intersect and interact at the project, precinct and masterplan level.
Key themes include:
-
Creating a baseline understanding for key terms including nature, environment, biodiversity and ecology
- Building dialogue for communicating the value of biodiversity to stakeholders
- Understanding key strategies that can be employed for increasing biodiversity at the project and precinct level
- Explore how nature plans can be expanded through collaboration at all levels
- Investigating how regenerative design fits into strategies
