The climate emergency is escalating, and communities all over the world will have to deal with its various inevitable effects. Even while rightly taking measures to mitigate climate change and reduce its causes, we must prepare and adapt to new and extreme conditions. Higher temperatures, more precipitation and rising sea levels, among others, are already taking their toll. Government, business, and other leaders must radically rethink how to protect people, the planet, and our prosperity.

The built environment and key infrastructure are crucial to building resilient communities across the world. Cement and concrete will play an essential role.

Our webinar will bring leading voices together to discuss some of the important themes. This webinar is open to groups from beyond the GCCA family – stakeholders from the built environment, local and national governments, architectures, city planners and international bodies are all warmly welcome to attend. Please do feel free to share this invitation internally in your organisations.
