No one is on track. A March 2025 UN report confirms that the building and construction sector still accounts for over 34% of global CO₂ emissions — and remains off pace for 2050 climate targets. Despite ambitious roadmaps, the gap between policy and implementation is deep — and increasingly visible on construction sites, in boardrooms, and across ESG scorecards.
But what does that mean for developers navigating upcoming compliance deadlines, architects working to integrate solar on tight plots, or asset owners facing tenant demands for ESG, green-certified space?
As EU and national regulations tighten — including the revised Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) and looming fossil fuel phase-outs — the cost of inaction is becoming very real. Delayed permitting, future retrofit liabilities, and stranded asset risk are now active concerns for projects already under design or construction.
This webinar, hosted in collaboration with Apricum – The Cleantech Advisory, aims to close the gap between net-zero policy and day-to-day project delivery.
In the webinar we explore
-
What’s actually required by 2030 and 2040 for new and existing buildings
-
How forward-looking developers in the Netherlands, France, and Germany are already adapting their design briefs, supplier choices, and business cases
-
What’s slowing the sector down — from permit uncertainty and grid constraints to fragmented supply chains and a lack of unified carbon standards
-
What the risks are for key stakeholders — from developers and engineers to funders and facility managers
-
What concrete actions you can take now to safeguard ROI, meet compliance, and attract capital
