One Size Fits No One: Rethinking the just transition from forests to cities
Bad news: there isn’t going to be a single and global way to deliver a just transition in the built environment. Good news: from Nigeria to Portugal, Denmark to Indonesia, local communities can teach us how best to deliver sustainable, affordable buildings, neighbourhoods and cities.
This session will explore how local building practices using biobased materials and waste products could be scaled and form equitable value chains linking cities and their rural hinterlands, ensuring that the most vulnerable communities and ecosystems - people and nature - are at the heart of the green transition in the built environment.
The objectives of the panel discussion is to share local insights from around the world on how to ensure climate action around the world upholds human rights and provide policy recommendations for a just transition in the built environment.
Join us on 8 December 2023, from 3-4:30pm at the COP28 Buildings Pavilion. Access the livestream here.
