Decarbonization of the Built Environment: Tools and Lessons from the Ground
| 16:00-17:30 Azerbaijan Time (UTC +4)

Description

The conventional approach to shaping the built environment must be reimagined to achieve decarbonization at scale. This requires a new mindset, tools, processes, and innovative design approaches, alongside strategic investments. But how does this happen in practice? What are the key lessons, priorities, and levers for change? How can digital solutions be deployed effectively to scale impact?

In this panel discussion, brought together by Sidara, various experts and stakeholders will share insights on the solutions they’ve implemented, the lessons they’ve learned, and the next critical steps to drive change. Achieving a zero-emission, efficient, and resilient built environment demands systemic transformation—and we all have a role to play.

Join us to explore how real-world innovation is driving progress and how we can all contribute to shaping a sustainable future.
