The Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) has tied up with the University of Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership (CISL) to promote a more ecological approach to the built environment among its membership.
RICS鈥� 150,000 members will be offered online learning, supporting the annual 20-hour CPD requirement for chartered surveyors, through CISL鈥檚 eight-week sustainable real estate course.
RICS head of sustainability Anil Sawhney said: 鈥淩ICS鈥� collaboration with CISL strengthens our commitment to leading on sustainability across the built and natural environment. By focusing on the interconnected pillars of decarbonisation, resilience, biodiversity, and circularity, we aim to equip professionals with the insight and capabilities needed to address complex social, environmental, and economic challenges.
鈥淎s expectations grow for our sector to respond to the climate and nature crises while advancing inclusive outcomes, it is crucial that our members are prepared to drive meaningful change and uphold the relevance and integrity of the profession.鈥�
CISL director Alice Spencer said: 鈥淭he built environment shapes every aspect of our lives, from where we live and work to how we connect, move, and thrive, making it a critical foundation for human wellbeing, economic resilience and market stability. Through this project with RICS, we aim to build the capacity of the sector to deliver a landscape that is fit for the future, to support the often-conflicting needs of people, nature and climate."
