Free Webinar, Green Infrastructure: How can we build a sustainable future? 16 May, 2-3:30pm BST
Event Description
Due to our growing population and increased urbanization, it is estimated that globally we build the equivalent of a city the size of Paris every single week!
At present, the building and construction industry is responsible for almost 40% of global carbon emissions, of which 70% is from energy consumption and the remainder from construction materials.
This online event will include a panel discussion with experts in construction from both industry and academia to highlight the top priorities and challenges for decarbonizing infrastructure, as well as cutting-edge research in the area. There will be the opportunity for you to ask the panelists your burning questions and understand the best practices for building a greener world. All staff, students, and the general public are welcome.
Dr. Brant Walkley - Senior Lecturer in Chemical Engineering, The University of Sheffield
Ricardo Moreira - Managing Director at XCO2, a company that focuses on sustainable infrastructure
