Globally, we’re feeling the effects of climate change, rapid urbanization, and loss of biodiversity. Sustainability considerations and green remediation practices (GSR) have been supported by the remediation industry at all stages in the remedy lifecycle since the early 2010s, however they have not always been strongly embraced. Evolution of the topic to incorporate resilience as a consideration under sustainability and to highlight the importance of environmental justice has resulted in an updated Sustainable Resilient Remediation (SRR) perspective. This perspective can be integrated into project planning using a framework included in the recent ITRC SRR guidance. The presentation will cover SRR, an integrated approach based on a tiered framework, give examples of innovative technologies to achieve measurable SRR outcomes, and discuss the importance of communication in integrating sustainability and expanding perspectives.
