Promoting social integration and environmental sustainability simultaneously can be achieved through: Community Gardens and Green Spaces: Creating spaces that foster community interaction while enhancing urban biodiversity and air quality. Mixed-Use Development: Designing neighborhoods that combine residential, commercial, and recreational areas to reduce commute distances and strengthen local economies. Green Building Design: Implementing energy-efficient and sustainable building practices that prioritize occupant health and well-being while minimizing environmental impact. Education and Awareness Programs: Empowering individuals through educational initiatives about environmental stewardship and sustainable living. Support for Local Food Systems: Promoting local food production and distribution networks to enhance food security and support local farmers. By incorporating these strategies, communities can cultivate social cohesion and environmental stewardship in tandem, creating healthier and more resilient places to live. #FIU_CM #FIUCM #FIUMOSSCM #BCN4570 #Sustainability #ConstructionManagement #FIUMossschool #FIUsustainability

Our partners Oxwash reflecting on their time at Anthropy UK last week…and Kyle C Grant making friends with a resident Roo Roo bird 🦜 it was so invaluable to have you guys there. Among the many conversations we engaged in last week at the Eden Project many were about collaboration and it’s power to affect change. We’re so proud to be working with Oxwash across their sites, for some time now, on developing and employing filters to prevent microfibre pollution at a commercial laundry scale. Two innovative forces pushing together for solutions. ✊🏻♻️💧 As we start to scale the groundbreaking, patented technology employed in our circular microfibre capture system we welcome these conversations with all and any industrial and commercial grey water sites. We’re working across commercial laundrettes, hotels and resorts, cruise liners, harbours, textile manufacture and water treatment works on new solutions, research programmes and collaborative projects for change. TOGETHER we can turn the tide on microfibre pollution. ✊🏻🌊Cleaner-seas.com #CleanSeas #CleanerSeas #OceanPollution #OceanConservation #Microfibre #Microfiber #Innovation #GreenTech #Solutions #CollaborationforChange

-To promote social integration and environmental sustainability simultaneously, one effective approach is to create community gardens. These spaces not only provide local, sustainable food sources but also encourage community involvement and cultural exchange. -Additionally, implementing green public transportation options can reduce emissions while making mobility more accessible to diverse populations. -Supporting local, sustainable businesses through community markets can also foster social cohesion and economic development, aligning with environmental goals. -Lastly, educational programs focusing on environmental stewardship can bring communities together, promoting inclusivity and shared responsibility for the planet. #FIU_CM #FIUCM #FIUMOSSCM #BCN4570 #Sustainability #ConstructionManagement #FIUMossschool #FIUsustainability

Recap of our Online Session on Sunshine Coast Council's Environment and Liveability Strategy (ELS) "Refresh" 🌿 We extend our gratitude to everyone who joined us for this informative online session, where progress on the ELS "Refresh" was presented to us. 🌳 The session emphasised the critical role of integration in business, policy, planning, and implementation, taking careful consideration of how we interact with our environment. We explored how the ELS integrates the built environment, assets, and social infrastructure, promoting a sustainable future for our region. 🙌 A significant question arose during the session: "How will the ELS align with actions for social infrastructure, including cemeteries, to minimise their environmental impact and work towards sustainable cemeteries and funerals?" 🤝 Community engagement emerged as a vital aspect of building a greener and more liveable region for future generations, showcasing the power of collective efforts. 📽 For those who couldn't attend, don't worry! You can catch up by visiting the Council website https://lnkd.in/gNGHNTyE, where you'll find more information and upcoming opportunities to have your say. Stay connected for further updates on our sustainability initiatives and how you can actively participate. Together, we can create a positive impact on our community and the environment. #sustainability #environment #liveability #greenfuture #communityengagement #sustainablecemeteries #sustainablefunerals #socialinfrastructure #haveyoursay #positiveimpact #greenliving #environmentalaction #socialresponsibility #futuregenerations #communityinvolvement

🍃In 2020, Bristol declared an ecological emergency in response to the decline in wildlife in the city. But how can businesses drive nature recovery in the West of England? 🍃   On Tuesday, Senior Consultant Jonathan Oon and Marketing Executive Chloe Davis attended an insightful event about this very topic, run by the Bristol Green Capital Partnership.   After some insightful talks about efforts in the region by the West of England Combined Authority and Redcliffe & Temple BID, we had the chance to discuss some key questions in groups. It was amazing to hear about efforts by local businesses and individuals keen to learn and promote biodiversity in Bristol and the surrounding areas🌼   Our main takeaways: 🌳 Nature is something that many people feel deeply connected to, but businesses need resources and support to know how to make an impact. 🗺️Maps and resources by organisations like WECA can help businesses understand ecosystem priorities for their locations and sources. 🌻Incorporating nature recovery into a sustainability strategy has significant benefits for staff wellbeing and employee engagement. 📈Engaging with local organisations such as the BGCP for materiality assessments can help businesses understand how they can focus their efforts beyond carbon. 🌎 Measuring biodiversity remains a complex challenge, and will need specialist skills to meet increasing demand from regulators, investors and consumers. 🌱 CSR and philanthropy programs for ecosystem regeneration must be long-term and include maintenance or community engagement in order to safeguard and care for the space.    Thank you to BGCP and everyone involved for sharing your insights and progress towards Nature Recovery - we came away inspired to support our clients and our own efforts!   #naturerecovery #ecologicalemergency #bristol #nature

Did you know that only 5% of philanthropic funding goes to environmental issues? We're excited to share this framework from our friends in philanthropy and sustainability at Australian Environmental Grantmakers Network (AEGN). This Nature Funding Framework talks through the nature crisis and guides donors to consider the most effective change levers (there are seven) for transformative change. With every natural disaster and discussion of weather, we see and know that climate, nature and people are interconnected. We can't solve poverty or social issues without building a nature-positive future. We know climate anxiety is real and that taking action through philanthropy can leave the despair behind, in favour of taking action towards a better future where landscapes are protected and restored, threatened species are in decline, nature-based solutions build resilience to climate change, and people are connected to nature including waterways, oceans and land. This 30-page framework comprises Setting the Context, Approaches for Action, Big Gaps and Opportunities and Consideration for Funders. The full framework is available for free on the AEGN website. We are all for collaborative partnerships between government, academia, environmental organisations and the philanthropy sector! Look out for AEGN events in Adelaide, Perth and Brisbane. #Philanthropy #Climate #ClimateAction #Sustainability #Nature #Environment #AEGN #GlobalGoals #SDGs #Biodiversity #Conservation #Greenhousegas #Carbon #CleanEnergy #NetZero https://hubs.la/Q02k-h1r0

🌍 Celebrating World Habitat Day: Respecting the earth that is our home🌱 World Habitat Day marks a great opportunity to consider how we can build sustainable, lasting environments that act as a home for lots of different species, including our own. It's a chance to remember that we have a collective responsibility to create communities that are not only resilient but also inclusive, safe, and environmentally friendly. 💡 Our mission lies in making sustainable business business as usual, which we do by providing resources and knowledge to help organizations and individuals align their financial decision-making with sustainable practices. One way to do this involves reporting and disclosing on activities to manage impact, mitigate against negative consequences, and direct finance to nature-positive activities, building more transparent, effective and widespread processes. Following the recent launch of Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD) final recommendations, we have produced our own content to make implementing these recommendations more accessible. Follow the link in the comment box below for a maturity map to assess your own progress, some top tips for some initial advice, and a blog to guide you through the TNFD report. Across our website, you can also find a variety of case studies, webinars, explainers and frameworks to help you become more sustainable. 💪 Through education, encouragement and collaboration we can strengthen and regenerate natural environments, building a better tomorrow and a healthy habitat for all. #WorldHabitatDay #Sustainability #TNFD #sustainablefinance
