The World Built Environment Forum (WBEF) is a global community of senior professionals, policymakers, and academics dedicated to advancing the built and natural environment. Since our launch as an annual summit in 2016, WBEF has evolved into a dynamic, year-round, digital-first platform. Our thought-leading, multimedia content has reached audiences in over 140 countries, and our community continues to grow and thrive.

We have had the privilege of collaborating with some of the world’s most respected organisations, including Tesla, the Bank of England, BlackRock, and Boston Consulting Group. The insights and expertise of RICS members and non-members alike are essential to WBEF’s success—whether through expert commentary, participation in our webinars, or contributing to our content.

Many of our articles are written by, or include material from, members, industry professionals and those who are passionate about the built and natural environment. We actively welcome suggestions for topics as well as contributions from potential writers. Whether you're interested in sharing an interesting project, case study, or innovative idea, or if you know of an outstanding member whose work deserves to be highlighted, we want to hear from you.

Please express your interest by contacting us and be sure to include any supporting information that showcases your background and area of expertise.
