The twin crises of climate breakdown and biodiversity loss are unfolding rapidly and sometimes irreversibly, requiring bold and urgent action. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has announced a “code red for humanity” through their latest report, whilst cities and communities across the world are confronted with the impacts – wildfires, floods and dangerous heatwaves to name a few.  

The built environment contributes to nearly 40% of global carbon emissions and has a significant impact on our natural habitats. Taking action against the climate and biodiversity emergencies is undoubtedly the most pressing issue for everyone working in the construction sector.

On Wednesday 22^nd September, UK Contractors Declare will be hosting a webinar in partnership with the Supply Chain Sustainability School to explore how the construction industry can decarbonise the built environment through:

• Accelerating the shift to low embodied carbon building materials, particularly through the concrete and steel sectors
• Achieving net zero carbon for building operations

You will hear from:

• James Cadman, Lead Consultant, Action Sustainability and the Supply Chain Sustainability School
• Callum Tuckett, Managing Director, Multiplex Europe 
• Munish Datta, Director of Membership and Operations, UKGBC
• Elaine Toogood, Head of Architecture, The Concrete Centre
• Neil Tilley, Senior Technical Sales Engineer & Business Development, ArcelorMittal
• Clara Bagenal George, London Energy Transformation Initiative
