Approximately half of all extracted resources globally are used for the built environment, with 11% of global GHG emissions being attributed to the embodied carbon found in construction materials. This session, organized by WBCSD, Arup and the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, will bring together a panel of high-level professionals to illustrate the opportunity of circular solutions in terms of innovation, new business models, emission reduction from materials, biodiversity protection and benefits for communities. Participants will learn how to make use of circular economy tools in the built environment and understand the business case.
