This month's highlight
Highlightihg a theme that GDRC is currently working on
 Education for Sustainable Development
At the core of implementing the Sustainable Development Goals, lies education - education to raise awareness ("So what is happening?"), education to assess what needs to be done ("So what is its impact on me?") , and education to take action itself ("So what do I do?").
And education is of course an underlying theme in all the research that GDRC does - what needs telling, to whom, why and how, and indeed when?

Back to the Drawing Board: (Green Construction Toolbox)
The 'Back to the Drawing Board" Toolbox looks at buildings in its entire life-cycle, and provides tools and strategies that can be used to incorporate sustainability principles in building and construction.
The processes involved in a building's lifespan - design, construction, use, maintenance and demolition - have immense implications on its impact on the environment - in terms of natural resources and energy consumed.
