Speakers: 1. Martin Crook, Associate | Sustainable Design Strategy at Arup 2. Ingrid De Doncker, Future Planet co-founder and ESG ambassador with a passion for supply chain sustainability and collaboration 3. Jerry Murphy, Chair and Professor of Civil, Structural and Environmental Engineering at University College Cork Background: This session is part of Construct Innovate Sustainability Planning in Construction module of the 2025/2026 webinar series. The built environment and construction industry is in a position of considerable responsibility and influence, in terms of delivering a more climate-resilient economy (Ernst & Young ‘Detailed Description of Needs for the Irish Construction/Built Environment Sector’ report, 2021). Climate action continues to be one of the key drivers for the construction sector, and this will continue to be the case for the foreseeable future in Ireland and internationally. The Government must meet very challenging CO2 reduction targets while ensuring sustainable development. This creates opportunities for the retrofitting of existing structures and finding improved ways to construct new buildings and infrastructure. This module explores sustainable construction processes and products, and aligns with SDG 4 (Quality Education), SDG 9 (Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure), and SDG 13 (Climate Action). This Construct Innovate webinar was free to attend live and is now available on-demand, thanks to Arup, sponsor of the Sustainability Planning in Construction webinars module. This webinar series are supported by The Royal Institute of the Architects of Ireland (RIAI), Society of Chartered Surveyors Ireland (SCSI), Association of Consulting Engineers of Ireland (ACEI) and Engineers’ Ireland West region. Recording from 21st October 2025, excluding Q&As session.
