Cambridge University and RICS to Collaborate on Sustainability Training
The University of Cambridge’s Institute for Sustainability Leadership (CISL) has announced a new collaboration to align its leadership in sustainability with the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors' mission to achieve a built and natural environment that is 'sustainable, resilient and inclusive for all'.
With a focus on building the capacity for change among RICS’ 150,000 members through online learning and supporting the annual 20-hour CPD requirement for Chartered Surveyors, the educational programme will be delivered through CISL’s 8-week Sustainable Real Estate course.
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."
Anil Sawhney, RICS' Head of Sustainability, adds: “RICS’ collaboration with CISL strengthens our commitment to leading on sustainability across the built and natural environment.
The 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.
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.
