International perspectives on built environment policy  in the face of the global heating and biodiversity loss

UPDATE - 26th June 2023 - POSTPONEDUnfortunately we were told this morning that one of our speakers, Pascal Smet, foreign affairs minister of the region of Brussels, resigned last week for unrelated political reasons and he is no longer available to speak. Having considered whether to carry out with this afternoon&#x27;s session we have reluctantly decided to postpone until we can get an equivalent breadth of international perspectives on the implementation of built environment policy.We will be back in touch once we have reassembled a team of speakers to address this topic. Please bear with us until then.yours Richard and Simon-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------The recent ‘<a href="https://edgedebate.com/s/theEdge_PolicyProposals_1122.pdf" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Policy Proposals for the Built and Natural Environment</a>’, published by the Edge provides a clear, holistic and ambitious set of ideas and strategies for “tackling the poorly performing built environment sector” to policy-makers - particularly in relation to the urgency surrounding global heating and biodiversity loss. However, current responsibilities for the built environment are spread across many different government departments. •	Is greater coordination needed? •	How can ambitious and interlinked policies be adopted and implemented? •	What evidence, arguments and collaborations are needed to drive profound changes? •	What responsibilities and tasks can be delegated to and delivered by local authorities? •	What powers, resources and capabilities do local authorities need?Other countries are also addressing these concerns and implementing ambitious programmes. For example, building regulations that create carbon budgets for buildings and ambitious retrofit programmes. What lessons can the UK adapt from other countries in terms of commitment, adoption and implementation over the short and long term? Can successes from elsewhere help to leverage action and minimise risk? What could be the next steps for implementing the Edge’s policy proposals?
