The construction sector is not only one of the most reliable engines for economic recovery, in the current COVID-19 context. It is also a formidable vector to continue advancing towards net-zero construction, including through an accelerated uptake of low carbon materials and solutions. Reaching the COP21 ambitions must remain a priority and the building and construction sector can effectively contribute to it. And this underlines a prerequisite: our ability to define what forms net-zero construction and how we measure the carbon footprint across the lifecycle of construction projects.

Hosted by Jamie Gentoso, CEO – US Cement, LafargeHolcim and moderated by Tom Erb from the Center for Climate and Energy Solution (C2ES). Panelists include, Nigel Topping, High Level Climate Action Champion for the COP26; Cristina Gamboa, CEO World Green Building Council; Magali Anderson, Chief Sustainability Officer, LafargeHolcim; Bill Sisson, Executive Director, WBCSD North America; Lena Hök, SVP Sustainability, Skanska; Joseph J. Ferrara, V.P of Ferrara Bros, LLC, a US Concrete Company
