It is time for systems change for the construction industry – what will you do?

How should we address our 3 questions on i) what are we learning from our time of lockdown and beyond to change both as individuals and professionals? ii) What do we keep and what do we change in the industry? iii) If we embrace change, what is our vision for the future? If we don’t, what are the risks?

The proposition put forward in this session is that construction needs a cultural change, and a reinvention if we are to play our part in mitigating climate change. We will explore what this could mean in practice.

In this session we are focusing on the big issue of how to achieve collaboration at the larger scale of getting the whole industry to embrace common goals, of which the most critical is responding to climate change, with institutions and other organisations working together to define these and help their members with the tools to deliver.
