EU Green Week 2024 The EU Green Week is an annual opportunity to raise awareness, promote and discuss European environmental policy. Organised by the European Commission’s Directorate-General for Environment, this high-level event attracts policymakers, leading environmentalists, stakeholders, and interested parties from across Europe and the globe. This year the name probably should have been ‘EU Blue Week’, since water is the main topic of the 2024 edition. But on the other hand, without water there would be no green. The aim is fostering awareness and promoting positive, collaborative solutions. I have the honor to speak at this flagship environmental conference tomorrow. On behalf of the European Region of the International Federation of Landscape Architects (IFLA Europe _) I will be interviewed and try to explain how landscape architects see water differently. In line with the New European Bauhaus, we make projects that are beautiful, sustainable, and inclusive. Water is an integral part of our projects. Beside two projects in Finland and Austria made by fellow landscape architects, I will also show our ‘own’ project Baakse Beek (Waterschap Rijn & IJssel) as best practice. Today’s session was kicked off by Maroš Šefčovič (Executive Vice President of the European Commission). He set the tone for the discussion while Dr. Florika Fink-Hooijer (Director General for Environment) explained why water has been chosen as the main theme of the conference. I was touched most by the impressive speech of Ruslan Strilets, Minister of Environmental Protection and Natural Resources of Ukraine. The ongoing war brings nothing but misery. The Russian enemy does not hesitate to also attack the water supply. Including by blowing up a dam, which caused a huge environmental disaster. No matter how long this war lasts, let us continue to support Ukrainians in thoughts and deeds! My fellow Dutchman Henk Ovink (Executive Director for the Global Commission on the Economics of Water) emphasized that if we can get the water system in order anywhere, it is in Europe. We have the knowledge and money so what is stopping us? Very soon we may vote again who will represent us in Europe. Probably not many people make their decision on the topic of water. But as the main source of life that maybe would not be a bad idea. I'm being interviewed tomorrow by Patrick Child (Deputy Director-General in DG Environment, European Commission) at 10:15 hours.

🌎 Just launched: The Sustainable Construction Barometer by Saint-Gobain 🌎 ➡️ What is the Sustainable Construction Barometer? It's an international survey that helps us to understand issues relating to sustainable construction. The results can be used to help key stakeholders make decisions around the topic and help to transform the construction industry, for the better. View some key insights below from this year's survey, and read the full report on our dedicated webpage: https://bit.ly/3UbjPpm 📲 #SustainableConstruction #SaintGobain #NetZeroConstruction

Here at All Building Control, although we work on buildings, we care a lot about the environment. We have an environmental policy that we strictly follow. Here is an extract from the policy - 'All Building Control has adopted a building control environmental policy which defines our commitment to sustainable development (meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations) as a guiding principle within our work. We aim to reduce the impact on the environment from our operations.'
