Online Conference - Green Recovery: The Built Environment Whilst the coronavirus pandemic has had devastating consequences for lives and livelihoods, from the obvious health impacts down to economic, it has also substantially cut emissions and produced environmental benefits. Retaining this benefit and realising it as an opportunity to push the green agenda further is key to the sustainable future of the U.K., and an opportunity the Government is indeed taking. In Johnson’s own words, the U.K. is looking to “Build Back Better”. For the first time, bringing together colleagues across the spectrum of the built environment sector, join us to discuss, understand and contribute towards this sector’s green agenda and revolution. Hear from experts on the immediate reforms the sector faces, case studies showcasing the best practice in current leading green technologies and projects and the next steps the sector needs to take to understand how you can contribute towards this sectors sustainable future in your own setting.
