Putting nature at the heart of decision making

A related report released in January 2021 pointed out that the world’s deteriorating biodiversity crisis is related to “deep-rooted and widespread institutional failures” and the inability to recognize the value of nature”, and our demand for nature “far exceeds its value.

Obviously, the construction industry can play an important role in protecting the natural environment on which we live, from deciding where to build, placing transportation corridors, protecting resources, etc. to the actual impact of buildings on nature (such as air pollution, climate change, water pollution, garbage, landfill). Will explore the role of the construction industry in protecting the natural environment and identify actions needed for systemic change.

4th March 2021 12 -1.15PM (GMT)

Construction-led action for net zero

Our built environment fits the target, and we have set a 100% net zero target. We need abandon the problems of outdated infrastructure, low productivity, poor health and deterioration of the natural environment, in order to have a healthy natural environment that can improve life, effectively reuse and renovate buildings, and maintain a good low-carbon environment. Liveable world infrastructure. This conference will explore how the industry can respond to the climate challenge and put plans for net zero into action.
