Description :

The building and construction sector is the biggest offender when it comes to global emissions, with the built environment accounting for 39% of gross annual carbon emissions worldwide. Within the space, embodied carbon – the amount of carbon emitted during the construction of a building – poses a clear obstacle to net zero with the construction indstry's prevailing practice of tapping on materials from hard-to-abate sectors. Driving down embodied carbon to an absolute minimum is hence vital in achieving global emissions reduction targets.

Atelier Ten's Founding Director, Patrick Bellew and Electra's CEO Sandeep Nijhawan will share technologies and innovations that tackle the problem of embodied carbon, and shine the spotlight on carbon-light materials and design that pave the way for a net-zero world.
