Constructive Collaboration

The Built Environment Regional Conference Series will culminate with Built Environment Ireland taking place this Autumn.

Construction professionals will come together for a day of learning and exploration, with content tailored to the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland regions.

Solutions to Climate Breakdown in Water and Land Management

24 September at 14:00 00:45 mins 14:00
Many problems that we face in society are inextricably linked to wider socioeconomic structures, making it difficult to enact positive effective change. However when it comes to climate breakdown and the biodiversity emergency, local measures can be surprisingly effective if we look at the issues through the lens of water. Féidhlim Harty will share an optimistic overview of how we can find solutions by looking at water and land management as part of our overall approach.
