The Futurebuild 2023 Conference sponsored by SNRG and Hub Brussels, is about ‘taking a stand’: looking forward, making a change and taking action.
Recent years have been confusing times for both the UK and the world and from that we take an emphatic message – action is necessary; taking a stand is essential.
In addition to major changes in the UK government and its Head of State, 2022 alone has seen a return to war in Europe, the continuance of the Covid pandemic, floods, drought, record breaking temperatures exposing the inadequacy of our buildings and the fragility of our urban environments, energy shortages and rising energy costs, rampant inflation, food shortages and key worker shortfalls. The Earth has overheated by 1.1°C and is currently heading towards 2-3°C above pre-industrial temperatures. We are in a man-made environmental crisis and we urgently need to work out how to survive and recover from it.
