About the CPD

 

 

This talk will cover the built environment’s impact on climate change, and why heritage might be key to unlocking many of the solutions. Drawing from work carried out by Purcell for the City of London Corporation, Laura will share lessons and innovations from the UK, that specifically seek to reduce carbon emissions and built climate resilience in our heritage assets, and how the methodology used can be applied to different contexts around the world.
