Show Notes


Join the Round Table here.

Welcome to Season Two of Constructive Voices and our first-ever themed month: Biodiversity in the Built Environment.

January 2023 will offer you expert insight into Biodiversity in the Built Environment. We have lined up a superb panel of guests who will be featured in two podcast episodes (17th and 24th January) and we will culminate in the Round Table event on 31st January 2023.

It all starts with this special episode featuring Roberta Boscolo, who is the Climate and Energy Lead at the World Meteorological Organisation. Roberta is a Climate and Sustainability Influencer with over 40,000 followers on LinkedIn.

If you wish to understand climate change and how it is interlinked with biodiversity, this interview is easy to digest while packed with accurate scientific facts and clarity.

Roberta’s interview should help clear up any doubts you may have on the topic.

Her work focuses on how to harness the power of climate data and climate information that the WMO generates, through partners and member states, to support decision making in key sectors. The energy sector is her speciality.

The scientific data she and her colleagues work with is central in helping decision making by private and public sector entities on their pathway to sustainability and climate change mitigation

Roberta and her colleagues appreciate how important those working in the built environment are and what big responsibilities they have.

..They also need to increase the risk climate resilience of the buildings and make buildings adaptable to the future climate. I think they have a big responsibility to understand the issue and talk with the scientists as well, to find solutions.

When it comes to biodiversity, regardless of what country you are in and what your role is in the built environment, Roberta reminds you of the potentially positive effect that improving biodiversity can have. Whether we label this Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) or simply see it as natural steps to cooperate with nature, at a time when it is so badly needed, what we can be assured of is Nature’s innate instinct to heal and cooperate.

Nature offers a lot of untapped potentials, not only to reduce climate risk and deal with the causes of climate change but also to improve people’s lives. For example, by restoring ecosystems, on land and ocean, we help plants and animals to build climate resilience.

You will also hear from some of our panelists whom you can meet virtually at the Roundtable Event on 31st January 2023, Biodiversity in the Built Environment
