Edge Debate #99 - Futurebuild NOW Webinar 2: "Collaboration to achieve 100% Net Zero Carbon"

*This is the first of two webinars which the Edge is hosting in partnership with Futurebuild, the ACO, Colab-CPD, and the Construction Collaboration Challenge.

Why the whole construction industry must work together and collaborate to achieve 100% net zero carbon

The critical role of ‘collaboration’ was highlighted in the Edge report Collaboration for Change (2015 and 2020 -https://edgedebate.com/edge-reports.    

We have explored what makes for successful collaboration at project scale

In this session we are focusing on the big issue of how to achieve collaboration at the larger scale of getting the whole industry to embrace common goals, of which the most critical is responding to climate change, with institutions and other organisations working together to define these and help their members with the tools to deliver. 

When we talk about the ‘whole industry’ we mean all those engaged with projects and their outcomes including clients, investors, facilities managers and occupiers  because we all need to understand these bigger picture issues so that we can play our part in leading our industry forward. 

This session invites the audience to take part with questions and comments.
