On 11 June 2021, One Planet is hosting a webinar on "If you build it: How governments, financing and territorial planning influence the construction value chain".
The data presented above - released in the recent report by the IRP - One Planet network task force - demonstrate that the majority of both natural resource use and environmental impacts that take place along construction value chain occur at the manufacturing of construction material, the construction and the operation stages of the value chain.
This is a guiding principle of the value-chain approach, and will set the tone for this online discussion around how the decisions by governments and investors largely determine activity along the construction value chain. This webinar will also serve as a kick-off to a broader set of consultations with experts from the construction sector in order to present innovative business and policy solutions in order to come up with a common approach for action together.
