COMING UP IN 2023

INFRASTRUCTURE & BUILDING

Here you’ll find all the content relating to the infrastructure & building sectors that will be covered at #SCEWC23.

The built environment is responsible for 40% of annual global CO2 emissions. As pressure to act towards climate neutrality increases, the construction and building renovation sectors are key. We must call for emission restrictions across its whole value chain and eliminate all CO2 emissions from the built environment by 2040.

What should urban planners, government leaders and developers consider to contribute to healthier, cleaner, efficient and resilient buildings, communities and cities?

Tomorrow.Building is a global initiative empowering the green and digital transition of buildings and urban infrastructures.

Our mission is to catalyse positive change in the way we plan, construct, renovate and operate buildings and urban infrastructures. We accelerate a shift in the built environment towards a circular and digitalized model that ensures efficiency, resilience and net zero cities.
