"Building Green" online session: "Greening the construction sector - Moving forward in provision of skills for the green transition"

We are pleased to invite you to the BUILDING GREEN online session: 

Greening the construction sector - Moving forward in provision of skills for the green transition. 

On 26 March 2024, 12:00 - 14:30 CET/Turin Time. 

 

We zoom in on the construction sector.

Buildings currently contribute to 39 % of global energy-related carbon emissions. Within this, 28% stems from operational emissions, which are generated from the energy required to heat, cool, and power buildings. The remaining 11% of emissions originate from materials and construction processes.

Urgent action is needed! - And a skilled workforce is vital for innovation and emission reduction.

We will explore the adoption of sustainable materials and innovative technologies, along with a deep dive into examples of occupational standards and green VET programmes for the construction sector.

Key takeaways from the event: 

• Insights into cutting-edge green materials and technologies
• Construction value chain explained
• Discussions on green vocational education and training programs – Ireland and Slovenia
• Green Continuous Professional Development initiatives – Moldova and Canada
• UNESCO-UNEVOC – BIBB on greening the construction sector

Interpretation is provided in in French, Turkish, Ukrainian and Russian.
