In today’s episode…

While Matt and Sarah continue to keep on top of our up-to-the-minute news coverage and live blog, Luke gathers an expert panel to discuss the big announcements on Cities, Regions and Built Environment Day at Glasgow’s Scottish Events Campus. 

Joining us in the Green Zone at COP26 this morning (11 November) was the UK Green Building Council’s director Munish Datta, Holcim’s chief sustainability and innnovation officer Magali Anderson, and Jacobs’ global head of sustainability and ESG Zoe Haseman

The panel discuss (among other things), the sector’s decarbonisation efforts so far and how they must accelerate to keep 1.5C alive; and what a green and just recovery from Covid-19 looks like for the sector. 

There is, of course, also discussion of the policy changes needed to enable the sector to turn ambition into action, with reaction to recent updates here in the UK and the international news coming out of COP26 on this penultimate day. And the panel rounds off by outlining their hopes for the legacy of this UN climate summit.
