Nature Positive Webinar: a draft roadmap for industry consultation
Australia currently faces significant challenges, including increasing urbanisation, the depletion of nature and a low rate of circularity. Resource use continues to place pressure on nature while investment in solutions remains limited.
So how can the built environment become a force for restoring nature? Join us to hear about the nature positive roadmap; a new guide for sustainable development across precincts, buildings and fit outs in Australia.
The draft roadmap discusses the built environment’s role as it relates to nature. It details the built environment’s role in contributing to key challenges in protecting, restoring and regenerating nature. It builds on work undertaken by the GBCA to date, and includes translation of global biodiversity targets into actionable, measurable steps for the built environment. Importantly, the draft roadmap acknowledges the importance of strong policy integration, consistent data, and the inclusion of First Nations knowledge and leadership in driving success.
During this webinar you’ll hear from members of the Nature Roadmap Advisory Panel members as we discuss how to prevent nature loss, increase and connect nature, drive circularity, choose low impact materials and invest in nature while maintaining the guiding principles of culture, community and connection to Country.
