Why?
Why do we need an Eco-Strata guide?
Buildings are a big part of the solution to challenges such as rising energy and food prices, climate change, biodiversity loss, and poverty. We know we can’t use energy and materials and produce waste in the same way and at the same rate without destroying our long-term future. Sustainability or “sustainable development” is at the heart of this Eco-Strata guide. The decisions we make have local and global consequences, long term impacts, and are all interconnected to social, economic and ecological systems.
