Forum leader Jeremy Mansfield of Green Cross Australia.

In a series of half-day seminars across Australia and New Zealand in March-April 2013, Jeremy Mansfield, Head of Development at Green Cross Australia will discuss the importance of developing resilience and a plan for action as it relates to the property sector, along with presenters from the insurance and building services industries.

“Resilience is about the interaction of people, buildings and infrastructure with their local environment climatic conditions,” says Mansfield. “Building for resilience is a critical response to all climate scenarios for communities wishing to adapt and thrive as our climate changes.”

The seminar series is organized by the Chartered Institution of Building Services Engineers (CIBSE), in partnership with Green Cross Australia – a not-for-profit environmental organization that empowers Australians to take practical, informed steps to adapt to a changing climate.
