How to accelerate the adaptation of the building & construction sector?

Description

Climate change is fundamentally reshaping the building and construction sector, making climate-resilient infrastructure a necessity.

How can we design resilient buildings, lower the carbon footprint of materials, and scale up sustainable solutions? What proven approaches exist, and how can they be mainstreamed? What policies and economic incentives can drive this transformation?

This workshop will bring together experts and decision-makers to explore actionable strategies for making the building sector a leader in climate adaptation.
