Abstract
Duncan Baker-Brown on how to embrace sustainable practices, reduce material consumption, and help drive the transition to a circular economy
One of the many benefits of working in practice, teaching and research during the same week is that my work often requires me to travel around the UK and much of Europe. I often get the opportunity to meet hundreds of people in the construction industry having a good go at what we might describe as a ‘climate literate’ built environment – i.e., one that understands some of the complexities of the climate and ecological emergency, and then acts accordingly.
