Beyond Concepts: Natural Capital Tools for the UK Construction Industry
October 6, 2016 @ 8:30 am - 11:00 am
Natural capital is fast becoming a priority business issue. Yet there is a lack of understanding around the application of natural capital concepts to construction industry practices.
CIRIA and the Natural Capital Initiative (NCI) have come together to hold a briefing session on the application of the Natural Capital Protocol in the construction industry. This session will bring together construction industry leaders, leading natural capital scientists, and policy-makers to discuss how this and other tools can be applied to benefit the industry and our natural environment.
The briefing will have a distinctly practical focus, with discussions of how natural capital tools can be applied to construction industry operations on the ground.
