Objectives
The objectives of this first meeting of the year are to provide attendees with an update on Ireland’s new Biodiversity Action Plan and to share best practices in protecting and enhancing biodiversity in new commercial and residential developments. As in 2024 the IGBC will develop high-quality case studies on this topic, the event will provide an opportunity to flesh out the type of case studies needed and what they should cover.
