In the latest free #BuildingLife webinar series, the World Green Building Council will delve into the subject of the EU Taxonomy. The event will be jointly hosted with FIEC, the European Construction Industry Federation.
The EU Platform on Sustainable Finance is currently consulting on new proposals for the Taxonomy criteria for the built environment, in the key areas of circular economy and biodiversity. Join a panel of experts to hear first-hand how these proposals have been shaped and have your say on the next steps during this interactive session.
In the live Q&A with members of the Platform Technical Working Group, you will have the opportunity to share your views on how these proposals could be strengthened to ensure that Taxonomy-aligned activities in the built environment are making a substantial contribution to the environmental objectives.
Agenda:
Moderator: Sue Arundale, Director, Technical and Environmental Affairs at FIEC
Speakers:
● Professor Marzia Traverso, Rapporteur for the Platform’s Technical Working group and Head of the Institute of Sustainability in Civil Engineering at RWTH Aachen
● Pekka Vuorinen, FIEC’s Permanent Member of the Platform on Sustainable Finance and Director, Environment & Energy at Finnish Association of Construction Product industries
● Stephen Richardson, WorldGBC’s Permanent Member of the Platform on Sustainable Finance and Director, Europe Regional Network.
