The Nature of Building: Biodiversity and the Built Environment
About the series
As the built environment continues to expand, working to address its impact on nature is more vital than ever. The Nature of Building, a digital series produced by CIOB in partnership with Content With Purpose (CWP), explores the powerful relationship between construction and biodiversity, shining a light on the strategies reshaping the industry to mitigate its environmental impact.
Through captivating storytelling, this series highlights ground-breaking projects and forward-thinking initiatives that place nature at the heart of construction. You’ll meet inspiring individuals and organisations leading the way in skills development, research, technology, and ethical practices, all striving to mitigate its environmental impact and work towards nature positive.
Each film will delve into efforts to prioritise biodiversity at every stage, from sourcing sustainable materials to innovative construction techniques, both on-site and off-site. We’ll celebrate projects that excel in Biodiversity Net Gain, address embodied biodiversity, and maximise adaptive reuse — while also recognising the industry’s ongoing journey towards a greener, more nature-conscious future.
