SUMMARY:SPOC Forum - Built with People: optimising sustainable work practices
DESCRIPTION:For LCAG SPOCS only. Please Register here \nJonathan Louth will talk about an Architects’ Company initiative “Built with People” that is in development with other maker and construction liveries: optimising sustainable work practices and achieving commensurate energy reductions through combining technological developments with human skills. \n \nConservation Architect & Interdisciplinary Consultant for the Built Environment\, educated at Bristol\, Aachen\, & Cambridge Universities:
Jonathan Louth is the LCAG SPOC for the Architects’ Company with whom\, since 2018\, he champions “Built with People”\, a UK initiative integrating dexterous skills with technology in the built environment that will encompass almost 70 ‘maker’ and some 22 ‘professional’ Liveries. Since 2013\, Development Adviser to the British Order of Carmelites and Chair of Estates Group at Aylesford Priory\, Jonathan Louth guides a development plan for conservation\, green energy strategies\, & landlord-tenant structures to secure the future of the estate. Architectural Advisor to the Guards’ Chapel Committee in London\, Jonathan has been guiding projects there since 2020: the new Harrison pipe organ\, low energy lighting\, wind lobbies\, roof maintenance & access requirements. Until 2024\, these roles ran parallel over 24 years advising at St George’s RC Cathedral Southwark\, 21 of them as Cathedral Architect. \nDavid Bates will talk about his work with the WCON where he is encouraging members to exploit transformative learning and capability development methods through advocacy\, as well as enhancing and sharing their green health (knowledge and skills) credentials especially when working as a multi professional team including the non-health or care sectors. David believes that the need for Planetary and Green Health should not be a distant dream but a social reality of our time fuelling our moral responsibility to act locally to have a global impact. The City and Livery is in a unique position to achieve this. \n \nDavid is the Middle Warden and LCAG SPOC for the Worshipful Company of Nurses’ (WCONs).

SUMMARY:Biophilic Design Conference
DESCRIPTION:We are at a turning point. Our cities — and our planet — demand new thinking. We need healthier environments\, stronger communities\, equitable economies\, and a future that supports both people and nature. \nThe 2025 Biophilic Design Conference is where that future begins. \nThis is not just a conversation. It’s a call to action.\nWe are bringing together leaders in design\, planning\, ecology\, health\, education\, and policy to ask one vital question:\nHow can Biophilic Design become the foundation for how we live\, build\, govern and grow? \nFrom Ideas to Action\nThis conference focuses on real-world case studies\, not just theory.\nYou’ll hear from innovators and practitioners who are already designing biophilic cities — where wildlife returns\, air and water quality improves\, mental and physical health is supported\, and communities thrive. \nBut we go further. \nWe explore how these principles become policy — how governance\, leadership and legislation can support this essential shift.\nWe’ll ask: \n\nHow do we reframe the urban agenda?\nHow do we help cities think differently about themselves?\nHow do we educate C-suite leaders and policymakers to act faster — and smarter?\n\nThis time we are close to Parliament. Come and experience a Biophilic Design experience like you’ve not seen before. Soundscaping and projections\, mini Ted Talks\, Networking\, presentation of new research and case studies\, material innovation\, round table\, attendee idea activation\, plus exhibitors\, great food and brilliant conversations. Meet new designers\, new colleagues\, reconnect with old friends and help us all make a difference to this beautiful planet we live on\, and the lives of everyone dependent on it.

SUMMARY:Climate Risk and Insurance
DESCRIPTION:Why did coastal homeowners lose insurance while UK energy bills spiked after Russia’s invasion? Because risks started moving together. In this lecture\, Professor Raghavendra Rau shows how climate extremes and geopolitics create synchronised shocks that overwhelm insurers and energy suppliers\, pushing up premiums and bills. He discusses the basics of risk pooling\, why it breaks under correlation\, and what realistic fixes look like—from parametric policies and better building standards to smarter hedging and targeted support. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nProfessor Raghavendra Rau\nGresham Mercers’ School Memorial Professor of Business\n  \nProfessor Rau was the Gresham College Mercers’ School Memorial Professor of Business.

SUMMARY:Beyond Solar\, Wind and Hydrogen
DESCRIPTION:This SPOC event will look at what’s beyond solar\, wind and hydrogen: when mitigation alone isn’t enough – where do we go from here? \nPresentation by Professor Averil MacDonald \nWe were promised that moving to green energy would get us to net zero and then everything will be fine\, but it turns out things are not quite so simple … We are already realising that wind and solar aren’t enough and energy saving can only go so far. Professor Averil Macdonald will look forward to the next 20 years and describe the new technologies that are coming down the road.\nBut\, despite all the new technology\, the modest-sounding 2°C average global temperature rise forecast will have serious consequences for the way we all live our lives day to day. We learnt at the recent LCAG Conference that we will need to adapt to the changing climate – everything from modifying our houses\, to transport\, to the urban environment and even food supply chains. This talk ends with a salutary reminder of what we will need to do to make life liveable at this latitude\, Join us on Zoom\, if only to find out why a clean bucket might be the most important thing to keep in your home. \nBook here: https://www.tickettailor.com/events/lcag/2125790 \nProfessor Averil Macdonald OBE DSc D.Univ HonFInstP FRSA \n  \n \nAveril Macdonald is Emeritus Professor at the University of Reading\, was formerly Professor of Inclusion and Equality at University of Birmingham and has now joined the £11M Cornerstone project at Southampton University as EDI Lead. \nAveril was awarded the international Bragg Medal and Prize (1999) by the Institute of Physics\, London\, the accolade of Woman of Outstanding Achievement in Science (2007) in recognition of her work in Science Communication\, the prestigious Plastics Industry Award for Personal Contribution to the Industry (2007)\, Honorary Doctorates by the University of York (2010) and Kingston University (2015) and an OBE in the Birthday Honours list 2015 for services to women in science.
