The construction industry plays a key role in combating climate change, as the climate transition is not least a construction project: resource-efficient buildings, sustainable energy generation and future-proof infrastructure must be built. At the same time, the construction sector itself is one of the largest producers of climate-damaging emissions and one of the largest consumers of natural resources. The industry therefore not only has a great responsibility, but also a great power to shape the success of the climate transition – and a great need for change.
At FORUM:BAU, future shapers will come together to discuss specific changes in the industry and their implementation. Decision-makers from business, research, architecture and politics will develop innovative solutions for the future of construction along the themes of decarbonization, circularity and digitalization. They share concrete approaches to realizing greater sustainability in all project phases, from planning and operation to the reuse of buildings. They are looking for forward-looking solutions for the increasing complexity in construction, discussing social needs and expectations of construction and addressing the necessary political framework conditions to enable an efficient circular economy in practice.
All of this can only be achieved together and requires constructive discourse. This is why Holcim is offering FORUM:BAU, an industry event for dialog and networking – a must-attend event for anyone who wants to get to grips with the future of construction and play an active role in shaping it. Of course, we will also be there with a presentation by Florian Pronold.
We will of course also be there with a presentation by Florian Pronold: “Life cycle assessment and more – who makes the facts and what do we do with them?” at the themed talk round from 14:00 – 15:30 p.m.
