The event saw 40 attendees respond to presentations and panel discussions focussing on the key industry findings on the state of climate education, as presented on the Climate Framework’s latest report. The report emphasizes the importance of the global Climate Framework Initiative, introduced to accelerate reskilling/upskilling across the global built environment sector. It further describes the Climate Framework’s implementation into the new and existing climate-focused training programmes, as exemplified by the courses hosted by the RIBA, CIBSE and London South Bank University (LSBU) – among others.
The session also touched upon the Climate Framework’s collaborative work undertaken with LSBU to build a lifelong learning programme around net zero design, operation, procurement, leadership and management.
