Together, we’ll examine the current barriers to circularity, share real-world examples - both successes and challenges - and help develop meaningful proposals to influence government policy.

Be part of the conversation driving systemic change in the built environment!

Agenda

Introduction

Hosts from each Declares movement will give a brief introduction and summarise the state of circularity within their discipline.

Breakout sessions

Attendees will be split into groups to have more focused discussions around several themes including procurement, supply chains, data, metrics, and designing for deconstruction. Discussions will focus on identifying what is working well (with practical examples where possible), and what is needed to facilitate faster change.

Regroup

We will close the session with reflections from each group.

"The built environment’s intensive resource consumption is accelerating climate change and driving biodiversity loss. Transitioning to a circular economy is essential if we are to remain within the planet’s ecological limits. While promising efforts are emerging across the sector, they are often isolated and fragmented. To achieve meaningful, system-wide transformation, we need a strong policy framework to serve as a catalyst. This event invites practical, forward-thinking solutions to help embed circularity across the built environment. Join us and help demonstrate the industry is ready to help tackle this challenge."
