The Alliance for Sustainable Building Products (ASBP) and partners have today announced a coalition of almost 100 partner organisations across the built environment sector who will support the delivery of a Built Environment Virtual Pavilion, ahead of the UN’s COP26 Climate Summit scheduled to take place in Glasgow this November.
The UK Green Building Council (UKGBC) is acting as secretariat to a huge number of organisations that have joined forces to establish a smart virtual presence, which aims to give the sector a voice at COP26 and generate a reach and legacy that can stretch beyond COP itself.
The Virtual Pavilion will comprise an exhibition of global exemplar projects and places, within a bespoke virtual reality (VR) space, as well as a major series of events and downloadable content – to include keynotes, panel discussions and more. An open call for a creative and innovative virtual centrepiece for the Pavilion will be launched, with a detailed brief expected to be formally announced within the next few weeks.
You can find more detailed information on the Virtual Pavilion on the UKGBC website.
At least 30 ‘Delivery Partners’ are working together to support the initiative, consisting of non-profits, trade bodies, government agencies and professional institutions from across the built environment. Delivery and commercial Partners include:
