About Session
Our built environment impacts the natural environment in many ways. Many impacts are negative, some are positive. But we tend to focus on the direct impacts, in the locality of the site itself. Just as we are discovering that a growing proportion of our carbon emissions associated with the built environment occur upstream, in the production and transportation of construction materials, this is true of our impacts on biodiversity and natural habitats too. How can we transform the way we build, and create a built environment that works in unison with nature?
