Mr. GS Dang started his lecture with the basics of sustainability & threw light upon the topic. Mr. Dand said, “A sustainable built environment is circular, designed for longevity, flexibility, adaptability, assembly, disassembly, reuse and recoverability, and considers future climate risks. It uses low-carbon, low-impact, non-toxic materials, and it recovers used resources (materials and products on-site or from other sites). It is powered by renewable energy, ensures sustainable water consumption, and enhances the wellbeing and safety of people” Mr. Dang also highlighted. Green spaces, natural biodiversity, and nature-based solutions increase resilience, well-being, and social connectivity.
