Synopsis

This insightful book is a timely response to three of the most significant planetary crises facing humanity: climate change, pollution and biodiversity loss. Usha Iyer-Raniga explores how the One Planet Network’s Sustainable Buildings and Construction (SBC) programme has provided a clear and actionable pathway to address these critical issues.



Launched in 2015, the SBC programme has vastly improved understanding of sustainable construction and has supported and promoted mainstream sustainable building solutions. This unique book outlines the history of the SBC programme, its major successes, its global application and the challenges it faces. Iyer-Raniga highlights advancements in current practice, in particular the mapping of circular built environment indicators against relevant Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Looking ahead, the book proposes opportunities to further develop the insights gained from this programme, and considers the future impact of pursuing circular practices in the building and construction sector.



Informative and accessible, this book is a vital read for built environment professionals working in planning, architecture, engineering, procurement, building and construction. Its consideration of the relationship between circular construction and the SDGs is also of importance to policymakers and stakeh olders working in sustainability, as well as students and academics specialising in the built environment.
