About the session

What’s covered

Concrete is the most ubiquitous man-made material on earth, but manufacturing its primary component – cement – accounts for a staggering 8 percent of global emissions — comparable to the combined emissions of all cars and light trucks worldwide.

Join us for this session to learn about the cutting-edge strategies and technologies poised to transform cement and concrete production, and the critical role businesses and governments play in driving demand for cleaner construction materials for renovations, new buildings, and all investments in low-carbon, climate-resilient infrastructure. Experts will discuss innovative procurement policies, partnership models, de-risking opportunities, and financial strategies that can incentivize the adoption of low-carbon concrete. We’ll cover the opportunities and barriers to transform this market — and the role your organization can play to drive it forward.
