As the global climate agenda advances towards COP31, the built environment stands at a critical inflection point. Responsible for nearly 40% of global greenhouse gas emissions when construction and operations are combined, the sector faces mounting pressure to accelerate decarbonisation while addressing resilience, equity and rapid urbanisation. This panel brings together leaders from policy, design, real estate, finance and technology to explore the priorities shaping the next phase of action. The discussion will focus on translating climate commitments into practical strategies, scaling low-carbon solutions and unlocking investment for sustainable development.
