- Thursday 25 September
Construction is one of the most climate-damaging sectors in Denmark – and the housing sector plays a crucial role in the green transition. In this talk, we explore how we can reduce the CO₂ footprint of construction while ensuring that housing remains both affordable and livable.
The panel will discuss key questions such as: What does it take to lower the climate impact of construction? How can underutilized buildings be transformed into soulful and sustainable homes? What architectural and technological solutions already exist – and what is still missing?
The panel will also look at how the social housing sector – with its scale and social responsibility – can lead the way in developing new housing models and green renovations, both as a pioneer and through large-scale experimentation.
