In a circular economy, the point is to look past sheer profit or growth and consider a sustainable future with wider social benefits.
This webinar will serve as a forum for discussion on the intersection between gender and sustainable buildings. We will discuss known research as well as data gaps, and explore how to mainstream gender considerations in the buildings space — including the Building Efficiency Accelerator (BEA) — moving forward.

This second webinar in the new series of deep dive sessions jointly hosted by SUEZ and CIWM explored how we can help encourage, support and adapt consumer behaviour and choices as part of effectively delivering the circular economy and inspire them to make the right choices sooner rather than later.
