There is growing evidence that green and sustainable buildings bring multiple benefits. Green buildings are one of the most effective means to address climate change, creating sustainable and thriving communities in liveable cities.
The Nordic Region’s Vision 2030 aims to become the most sustainable and integrated region in the world by 2030, while Singapore’s Green Plan 2030 is a whole-of-nation movement to advance Singapore’s national agenda on sustainable development - both visions sharing similar targets in environmental performance and ambitions for long-term net-zero emissions. Including mapping green and sustainable pathways to lower operational and embodied carbon emissions in buildings such as how a building uses energy, greenery, manages waste and water, maintains indoor air quality and many more.
In this session, join our speakers from the Nordics and Singapore to learn more about:
- Challenges & effective ways to mitigate our carbon footprints across the life cycle of buildings
- Importance of cross-border green collaborations
- Leveraging smart technologies and emerging innovations
