The building sector is responsible for almost 40% of global GHG emissions, between material production, building construction, and building operations. The urgent need to address climate change poses significant difficulties for various sectors, especially the building sector. As industries rise to confront these pressing climate challenges, they also encounter promising prospects for turning research findings into tangible outcomes.
Introducing Climate Connections, our event series focused on addressing real-world climate issues. This initiative brings together individuals seeking solutions from different industries with researchers and innovators from academia, fostering collaborations across sectors to tackle the climate challenge head-on.
On December 13, we’re focused on the building sector bringing together industry experts who will present short “reverse pitches” on the challenges they see.
