This episode features a stellar line-up of industry speakers including, Will Arnold (Head of Climate Action at Institution of Structural Engineers), Dr. Oliver Jones (Research Director at Ryder Architects), Nitesh Mahdani (Strategic Sustainable Business Advisor) and Jemma Ison (Sustainability Manager at Keystone Group).

Climate change is affecting us all. With the built environment and construction industry accounting for 38% of global carbon emissions, the sector has a responsibility to take action. But are we doing enough? What do we need to do as an industry to slow climate change and make positive steps to creating a more sustainable planet?

This episode will discuss:

  • What impact did COP26 have?
  • Do we fully understand embodied carbon and how are we going to tackle it?
  • Are current regulations going far enough?
  • What do specifiers and manufacturers need to do to drive change?
