The Commonwealth Association of Architects is pleased to launch a pilot programme of lectures for built environment professionals, the aim of which is to facilitate knowledge exchange between member organisations and member firms, to help promote mutual understanding and greater awareness of issues related to climate change and rapid urbanisation together with the UN 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

While targeted at qualified built environment professionals, it is hoped that this series will be of interest to policymakers, city leaders and students alike.

As the world embarks upon a Decade of Action in which to achieve the UN 2030 Sustainable Development Goals, the Commonwealth Association of Architects has recognised an opportunity to provide mutual support by means of a structured programme of knowledge exchange in the form of a pilot CPD series and, with nearly 50% of the projected increase in the world’s urban population to 2050 forecast to be in the Commonwealth, architects and built environment professionals have a critical role to play in helping to achieve a more sustainable future for all.

This webinar is the first lecture in the series and will be delivered by Mina Hasman, Sustainability Expert at SOM (Europe) LLP, Trustee of the UK Green Building Council and CAA Focal Point at the Global Alliance for Buildings and Construction. In this lecture, Mina provides an overview of the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, and explains the important role for built environment professionals if we are to achieve a more sustainable future for all.

This lecture series will also include:
Introduction to the UN 2030 Sustainable Development Goals
Planning for Rapid Urbanisation
Planned City Extensions
Resilient Infrastructure
Climate Responsive Design
