    Decarbonisation, climate change, biodiversity, and the circular economy.

    The built environment accounts for nearly a 40% of carbon emissions. Extreme weather events linked to climate change are occurring with ever greater frequency; often it is the poorest societies that pay the heaviest price.

    A more equitable future is within reach. First, we must harness the enormous potential of the 21st century’s people, places and spaces. #WBEF
