About this event

Decarbonising densely populated areas is one of the greatest challenges of our time. Not only because of the volume of work, but also for their specific characteristics that often make these buildings “hard to decarbonise”.

Luckily, technology has made giant leaps forward in the past years and we can now overcome such difficulties through the right mix of policies and technologies.

Decarbonising our built environment is key to reaching both EU climate goals and the objective of REPowerEU to reduce the dependence on fossil gas.

Join the webinar on May 19 (16:00-17:00) to learn about the inspiring Empire Building Challenge program to decarbonise tall buildings in New York City including the iconic Empire State Building, from the words of one of the experts involved.

Agenda

• 16:00 Introduction with Davide Sabbadin, European Environmental Bureau

• 16:10 Keynote speaker Brett Bridgeland, RMI

• 16:50 Q&A

This webinar is the first of a series of webinars on the best decarbonisation practices found in USA and EU that can be relevant for both sides of the ocean.

These case studies will encompass both technological developments and policy making. If you want to stay informed on the future webinars, write to davide.sabbadin@eeb.org.

We look forward to seeing you there.
