The RIBA Gulf Chapter’s ongoing Sustainable Development Series commences its build-up to the United Nation’s COP28 to be held in the UAE later this year, with sustainability expert and author Mina Hasman introducing her guide book which contextualizes the climate emergency within the built environment. Mapping out the essential background knowledge around climate science, international agreements, legislations, commitments, and roadmaps to equip all built-environment professionals with the key information required to halt climate change and mitigate its impacts in our day-to-day practice.
The Guide features images and original illustrations themed across sections to address the fundamental elements and competencies for creating an integrated sustainable design and delivery framework that can be implemented within practice. The guide is organized around six overarching topics of Human Factors, Circular Economy, Energy and Carbon, Water, Ecology and Biodiversity, Connectivity and Transport.
This introduction will be followed by a panel debate with global industry sustainability experts, and the session will close with a questions and answers session with the live audience.
