Happy World Environment Day🌍 Today is celebrated to encourage awareness and action for the protection of the #environment. The #construction industry plays a vital role in taking care of the environment. For example, by limiting the materials we use, we can reduce waste, and look to reserve energy in our ongoing projects. #CTFInsulation #insulation #flatroof #roofingservices #sustainability  

Durham Region Spotlight Series✨🏢 Durham Greener Buildings is supporting commercial and institutional building owners in adopting sustainable practices and energy efficiency opportunities to foster a resilient and sustainable Durham. With the Durham Region spotlight series, we are recognizing inspiring climate action efforts that are setting powerful examples for sustainable practices. ClimateWise Network applauds the City of Oshawa's remarkable efforts and dedication to environmental stewardship.  The City’s Net Zero Emissions Retrofit Strategy quantifies the top greenhouse gas (GHG)-contributing facilities in its corporate portfolio and plans to develop a fuel-switching roadmap for each of these facilities to achieve Net Zero Emissions.

Raising awareness for wetland protection, today is World Wetlands Day - a great day to reiterate our commitment to combining innovation with environmental consciousness 🌿. Did you know, buildings account for a significant part of the UK total carbon footprint - 40% according to the UK Green Building Council? As such, we're excited to highlight the pivotal role of heat pumps in reducing carbon emissions, providing a sustainable heating solution, and helping preserve our wonderful planet as we know it 🌎. Offering a cleaner, more efficient alternative to traditional heating methods, heat pumps can have a transformational ripple effect as they help to reduce carbon emissions. 🌬️ As we celebrate the sheer natural beauty of wetlands, let's also reflect on how choices in the built environment impact our ecosystem 🏢. #MitsubishiElectric #WorldWetlandsDay #BuiltEnvironment #HeatPumps #HeatPumpSystem #LowCarbon #CarbonReduction #ClimateChange #EnergyEfficiency #NetZeroUK #NetZero2050 #EnergyTransition

Nature-based solutions are approaches that use natural processes to address our biggest societal challenges from... how to achieve sustainable development to how to tackle biodiversity loss.   On #WorldWaterDay, we’re exploring how our water and infrastructure teams are combining their skills and experience using #NatureBasedSolutions to protect water and increase resilience to #ClimateChange. Find out more about the innovative projects we're delivering for a resilient, sustainable future here https://ow.ly/SJl750QYU1C #StantecWater

Today, we commemorate and celebrate #WorldEnvironmentDay in support of recognising the need to sustainably preserve and rehabilitate the natural and human capital systems that we have developed. Led by the UN Environment Programme, and held annually since 1973, this day has grown to be the largest global platform for environmental outreach. This year’s theme focuses on land restoration, desertification, and drought resilience. The JSE has 40 Green Bonds listed in our Sustainability Segment where R36 billion in nominal capital has financed various environmentally friendly projects such as renewable energy, pollution prevention and control, wastewater management, climate change adaptation and green buildings initiatives.

Join me tomorrow with an engaging team of experts from #Arup #WGBC and many others as we explore the imperative need to adress the interconnectedness between #water #mitigation #adaptation and #NbS (natures based solutions) in the #construction and #building sector. Building resilient human settlements, whilst respecting the #landscape and #biodiversity and acknowledging the central role of #water ressourcce management, is a necessity in order to reach the #Climat #ParisAgreement and our #2030Agenda #Sdg1 #Sdg6 #Sdg11 #Sdg13 #Sdg15

Supporting the development of renewable energy projects, promoting a circular economy and reducing carbon emissions are amongst the key targets set out in the newly launched Galway County Council Climate Action Plan 2024-2029. Considered a significant milestone in Galway County Council’s commitment to climate action, the five-year strategy has been developed following extensive consultation across the County over the past 18 months. The Plan’s vision around climate action in the areas of energy, built environment, transport, circular economy and land use is driven by individual actions, including a commitment by Galway County Council to reduce its emissions by 51% by 2030 and a policy to ensure new public housing and buildings incorporate the principles of climate action in terms of design, services and amenities. Other actions include increasing investment in active travel facilities, encouraging local businesses to reduce waste and use sustainable packaging, supporting the retrofit of community buildings, introducing public water refill stations, and implementing and promoting sustainable land use practices to protect biodiversity and combat climate change.

This World Environment Day, the focus is on restoration: growing forests, reviving water sources, and rejuvenating soils. At PPS, this call to action resonates deeply with our mission to provide turnkey water solutions while upholding stringent environmental and social governance (ESG) standards. As part of #GenerationRestoration, we are committed to sustainable practices that ensure essential resources will be available for future generations. Our projects are designed not just to meet today’s needs but to restore and protect the environment for tomorrow. #MiningAustralia #AustralianMining UN Environment Programme https://lnkd.in/gUEwre3

A circular economy approach, as defined by the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, is “a systems solution framework that tackles global challenges like climate change, biodiversity loss, waste, and pollution”.  Whilst the benefits of a circular economy are clear, how feasible is it to apply the principles in practice to the construction industry?
