Seventeen sustainable projects, including a timber cultural centre in Sweden, a school built from bamboo and 3D-printed clay homes, will be exhibited in the Build Better Now virtual pavilion during COP26 in Glasgow.
The Build Better Now exhibition aims to demonstrate opportunities to tackle the climate emergency and limit the impact of the built environment, which is thought to be responsible for around 40 per cent of global CO2 emissions.
It is run by the UK Green Building Council (UKGBC) with the backing of 100 partner organisations from the built environment industry. The virtual exhibition will showcase "inspiring, global ideas" for how to create a more sustainable built environment.
"With COP26 in November, the world is ready to tackle climate change and the built environment has a crucial part to play," CEO at the UK Green Building Council Julie Hirigoyen said. "We know why we must accelerate climate action and Build Better Now shows how we can get there," she added.
"Everyone on the planet has a stake in our buildings and cities. I invite everyone to take inspiration from Build Better Now as a global showcase of pioneering solutions to climate change and hope that it supports the industry to create more sustainable buildings, places and cities of the future."
