UKGBC's Learning team in collaboration with 世邦魏理仕 brings our members this six-part video series to support their teams in understanding core concepts for creating a sustainable environment. Experts, through personal stories tell us how they started their journeys to drive change, providing context and innovative solutions on how to mobilise organisations to radically transform the built environment.

These resources, hosted on our members portal, encourage the UKGBC network to take action. You can access the trailer and the first video here.

Join us as we analyse what the new Labour Government means for the green building's agenda. With time running out to halt climate and nature breakdown, the priorities, policies and every action of this government needs to count.

During this online event, experts from across the UKGBC team and member Taskforce will share insights on the opportunities and challenges the new Government Agenda offers and faces.

Join this event that will take place on 25th July from 11:00 - 12:00

We are currently working with members across various industry subsectors to develop the UK's first Climate Resilience Roadmap for the built environment. This practical, evidence-based guide aims to help the industry adapt to climate change, protect people, and support ecosystems. The consultation is currently open, and we are seeking feedback from individuals and organisations across the built environment value chain.

This is an opportunity for UKGBC members and the wider industry to review and feedback on the current proposals to ensure industry alignment and consensus on this roadmap.

You can go here to take part.

Discover how to best retrofit and maintain nature-based solutions (NBS) within our built environment with two new informative infographics.

In order to share some of the challenges, recommendations, and considerations, practitioners should take when implementing NBS, we have created two infographics that share key learnings. The first one focuses on the challenges and considerations for retrofitting NBS while the second one considers maintenance and stewardship of existing solutions.
