From heritage skills to sustainable urbanisation 🇦🇬

This week, The King’s Foundation is taking part in the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM) in Antigua and Barbuda.

Representatives from our Projects Team, who design and build sustainable communities across the Commonwealth, took part in a roundtable yesterday on the topic of “smart cities”.

They were joined by other thought leaders and Commonwealth partners to explore efforts to finance sustainable urbanisation in cities where rapid planning is a growing challenge.

Thank you to our partner on the Rapid Planning Toolkit Formation Q for hosting this insightful event. We look forward to supporting the Commonwealth Declaration on Sustainable Urbanisation into the future.

The King meets Bobel, graduate of The King's Foundation Summer School ✨

This summer, joiner Bobel studied with us in Scotland at Dumfries House, travelling from Guyana to develop his expertise in traditional crafts. Using these skills, Bobel has created a bespoke shutter using sustainable Guyanese timber which will feature as part of the new Global Biodiversity Alliance Building. ⛏️

The King saw the shutter in action today and spoke to Bobel about his time studying with The King's Foundation in Scotland.🪟

The Biodiversity Building is one of the key projects for The King’s Foundation in Georgetown, and will serve as a flagship example of sustainable architecture and climate adaptation, with spaces for schoolchildren to learn about nature and its benefits 🪵

For more than 25 years, The King has maintained a close connection with Guyana through his support for rainforest conservation and sustainable development.

As the second day his visit to Guyana begins, we look at the work The King's Foundation's Projects Team has been undertaking alongside the Government of Guyana on a National Low Carbon Development Strategy. Working in collaboration with the government and indigenous communities, the Foundation is creating sustainable designs that prioritise heritage conservation and community-led development to support Guyana’s low-carbon future. 🇬🇾

As Royal Founding President of The King's Foundation, His Majesty will see some of this work in action during his visit to Guyana.✨
