Sustainability, Climate Change And Carbon Footprint

Sustainability has come to the fore in recent years as a requirement of project performance. Stakeholders, including society at large, are making new and urgent demands to have sustainability built in from the very start – from initial build through to lifetime operation and final disposal.

The seminar looked at how MPA members contribute to the carbon footprint and climate change, what could be done to lessen these impacts, and what factors affect decisions and behaviours. Presenters included representatives from the fields of government, economics, law, architecture and design.
