Event Details
The new EU taxonomy was recently published by the European Commission with the objective to identify those economic activities which bring a substantial contribution to the six environmental objectives which are considered relevant to implement the European Green Deal. As such, the EU taxonomy is an important enabler to scale up sustainable investment.
This webinar will provide a quick introduction into the EU Taxonomy and then focus in more detail on its relevance and implications for the building sector. The webinar will be jointly hosted by Prof. Marzia Traverso, one of the rapporteurs of the Technical Working Group of the EU Taxonomy, and Stephen Richardson, Director, Europe Regional Network of the World Green Building Council.
