BUILD BETTER NOW
A series of events to coincide with the launch of the COP26 Built Environment Virtual Pavilion, organised by the UK Green Building Council with the support of both the Association for Consultancy and Engineering (ACE) and the Environmental Industries Commission (EIC).
Build Better Now is a virtual exhibition and online events series which highlight the built environment’s role in climate change mitigation throughout the COP26 Conference and beyond. It contains an inspiring digital platform, accessible worldwide, for member and stakeholder engagement, which creatively visualises the opportunities for transformation in the built environment and convenes the many stakeholders required through a series of 16 diverse events – all of which are free and open to EIC members.
