A Pioneer in Sustainable Architecture
Duncan’s journey into environmental activism began through his work as an architect specialising in ecological building design. Long before sustainability became a mainstream concern, he was pioneering new ways to create energy-efficient, environmentally friendly buildings. His innovative approach to green architecture helped shape the way we think about sustainable construction, showing that buildings can be designed in harmony with nature while reducing energy consumption and carbon emissions.
Bringing Environmental Issues to the Public with Eco Eye
While his architectural work laid the foundation for his environmental advocacy, Duncan became a household name through his groundbreaking TV series, Eco Eye. As the show’s producer and presenter, he brought climate and environmental issues into the public consciousness, educating audiences on topics such as:
Climate change and its impacts on our daily lives
Biodiversity loss and the urgent need for conservation
Sustainable building design and the future of green architecture
Renewable energy solutions and the importance of energy cooperatives
Eco-friendly grassroots initiatives that empower communities
Broadcast for 21 seasons on RTÉ, the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, and Prime Video, Eco Eye played a crucial role in shaping public discourse around environmental sustainability. By breaking down complex issues into engaging, accessible content, Duncan inspired countless individuals and businesses to take action.
A Fearless Advocate for Change
Duncan is known not only for his knowledge and expertise but also for his unwavering commitment to challenging government policies that fail to address the climate crisis effectively. He has spoken out against:
The slow pace of national emissions reductions
Poor urban planning and its impact on sustainability
The declining quality of Ireland’s water and natural ecosystems
His direct, no-nonsense approach has made him a respected and sometimes controversial figure in the fight for environmental justice. But above all, it has solidified his reputation as a passionate advocate for a greener, more sustainable future.
Why Businesses Should Pay Attention
Duncan has long emphasised that businesses have a crucial role to play in tackling climate change. From reducing their carbon footprint to investing in renewable energy and supporting circular economy initiatives, organisations can lead the way in sustainability and drive real change.
For companies looking to future-proof their operations and meet growing sustainability expectations, Duncan’s insights offer invaluable guidance. His expertise in ecological building design, energy conservation, and corporate sustainability makes his perspective essential for any business committed to a greener future.
