As the construction sector faces increasing pressure to reduce its carbon footprint, the path to greener practices remains complex and challenging. Emissions embedded in materials, energy-intensive processes, and fragmented supply chains all contribute to the difficulty of delivering low-carbon construction at scale. This panel brings together perspectives from across the industry to explore the realities of cutting carbon in construction, highlighting both the progress made and the obstacles that persist. Speakers will reflect on how innovation, collaboration and practical solutions can support the transition, while acknowledging the trade-offs and constraints that make going green far from straightforward.
