Demolition contractors PLEADING for more collaboration between design teams and demolition experts to facilitate a circular economy. Powerful message from these self styled “bin men”!! #BuiltEnvironmentSummit
Very lucky to be at the @RIBA yesterday for the #BuiltEnvironmentSummit. Sad to miss out today but looking forward to digesting the new practice guide from @archdeclare.
Couldn't agree more with @cgamboat's inspiring keynote speech at #BuiltEnvironmentSummit hosted by @RIBA, discussing how our industry can tackle the climate emergency and achieve #NetZero.
“We must work together to move forward. The time to act is now.”

This shouldn't need saying but sadly it does: “It’s important we talk about quality of people’s of lives rather than just metrics, as we talk about low-carbon #infrastructure of the future. Otherwise no-one will go on this journey” - Simon Allford @Riba#BuiltEnvironmentSummit
We're thrilled to be a hosting partner for the @RIBA & @archdeclare#BuiltEnvironmentSummit, bringing together built environment professionals to address the urgent need to reduce carbon emissions, of which our industry contributes almost 40% globally. Here’s a look at day two👇
Today at #BuiltEnvironmentSummit @taragbolade from our Steering Group launched AD's new Practice Guide, to help AD signatories convert Climate & Biodiversity Emergency declaration into meaningful action & momentum. Download it now at architectsdeclare.com/resour…
At the @RIBA#BuiltEnvironmentSummit today, great to hear Maria Smith from @burohappold explaining the importance of a sustainable vision as well as just metrics.
"2050 is already here" session underway @RIBA@archdeclare#BuiltEnvironmentSummit.
True, everywhere: including here in #NYC where 11 New Yorkers died in basement apartments during Ida flooding last month.
Climate, right to housing, inequality are directly linked.
Thanks to everyone who has joined us so far for day one of the #BuiltEnvironmentSummit – remember you can still book tickets for tomorrow’s event until 3pm GMT this afternoon. bit.ly/3EoUC13
Learning about “climate speak” and the different translations of what “Net Zero by 2050” actually means… including:
• I support mass extinction
• I don’t care if people run out of food.
Engaging @riba keynote by Dr Timothy Morton @the_eco_thought#builtenvironmentsummit
Heat pumps coming up a lot in conversation at this event and we’re only an hour in! Also lots of chat about the current economic system and mixed views on whether capitalism is best placed to facilitate green homes. @RIBA#builtenvironmentsummit
We’re off! Today we’ll be bringing you live updates from day one of the #BuiltEnvironmentSummit – a sector-wide pre-COP conference exploring the challenges and opportunities we face as we seek to urgently decarbonise.
