    What are the challenges with sustainability on a global scale with Peter Oborn

    We are often guilty of looking at the small picture and it is often quite hard to take a step back and look at things at a macro scale.   We are familiar with the challenges that we face at a building or local scale but have we spared a thought about how things sit globally?   I discuss with my final guest of Season 1, Peter Oborn, who is the former Deputy Chairman for Aedas and is now a key member of Commonwealth Association of Architects (CAA) and UN-Habitat (United Nations Human Settlements Programme) - Stakeholders Advisory Group Enterprise (SAGE), about what challenges we face globally:   - How sustainability has changed globally - The influence of the RIBA abroad and its relationship with other countries - Urbanisation and the global north and global south - Commonwealth association of architects and their work to tackle sustainability and learning that we can take across the commonwealth
