Webinar #1: Four Circular Buildings Pathways Towards 2050

Join us for an online talk on 12th of September 2024, about new ideas to improve the building industry and fight climate change. We'll talk about research that shows four main ways we could lower the building sector's CO₂-emissions by up to 84% by 2050 by applying circular principles. We will show how circular interventions, including using secondary materials, and making better use of our existing resources, can reduce carbon emissions by up to 84% by 2050.

What You'll Learn:

• How the EU building sector affects the environment now
• Four main circular pathways pathways for better building: Build Less New, Build Smart, Use Good Materials, and Build to Last
• How these ideas, plus making the industry cleaner, can really cut down CO₂ and use less primary materials.
• How these changes might affect people and what risks we need to think about
• What we need to do to make these ideas happen

The talk will led by Nico Schouten from Metabolic and will include a panel discussion with various other CBC partners.

This webinar is a must-attend for built environment professionals—from architects and builders to policymakers and sustainability advocates—with a mix of expert insights, interactive discussions and a Q&A session.
