The session will cover:

  1. Shared visions: What will an equitable, climate resilient and low-carbon future look like in the built environment?

  2. Obstacles: What are the obstacles in reaching this vision?

  3. Actions: What steps can local communities, workers and their unions, city planners, investors and industry take to be part of the transformation?

  4. Next steps: How to engage and collaborate on this agenda, including an introduction to IHRB’s new global project on just transitions in the built environment.
