What is it about?
The construction sector is one that should undergo transformation, as 39% of global energy-related CO2 emissions come from buildings. The aim of the Council is to bring about an understanding of where CO2 originates from and how access to all stages of the life cycle of a building can help reduce its emissions. In addition, the Council network is aware that it cannot achieve the goal on its own, but together we must all take steps that should spur innovative solutions. In order for these steps to be successful, thinking must also come from the future. By facilitating a multidisciplinary approach to knowledge and new practices, this panel aims to indicate that greenhouse gas emissions can be significantly reduced and thus allow us to adapt and create a sustainable built environment while respecting the environment and biodiversity.
As a community, by creating green initiatives and regulations, the impact and effort can be scaled from the scale of the building, across cities to the ultimate global goal, but before acting at that level, it is necessary to understand from different perspectives what all the challenges entail. The quest for a path to net zero emissions has already begun, but it is necessary to raise the level of knowledge and experience in this field, but also to need the awareness that we must all be involved.
Panel Moderator: Ivana Lakić, Editor-in-Chief of Real Estate Magazine, while anyone interested in the topic should fill out this form before joining the program.
With each passing day, climate change is becoming more extreme and serious, thus posing a major challenge to life on Earth. Around the world, initiatives in various fields are turning to the concept of sustainability, an approach that connects many professions. Like the topic itself, the answer is complex, but at the core of the solution is the need for decarbonization.
