Irish Green Building Council launches a Network of Building Professionals for Biodiversity

The Irish Green Building Council celebrated Ireland’s National Biodiversity Week with the launch of a new Community of Practice on Biodiversity and the Built Environment.

The new Community of Practice is a networking group for building professionals and property managers working on biodiversity and the built environment in Ireland. Its objective is to provide a forum for industry leaders to share information on challenges and best practices, and to learn from each other. Members of the group include architects, developers, ecologists, engineers, investors, planners, property managers and representatives from local authorities.

“Biodiversity & the Built Environment - IGBC’s insights” was launched today as part of the National Biodiversity Week. It was developed by the Irish Green Building Council in close cooperation with the industry and with the support of the Department of Housing. The factsheet and the recording of the webinars are available at www.igbc.ie.
