Building Green 2024 - Copenhagen | Building Green | 29 October 2024 | TBA, Copenhagen, Denmark

We are standing on a burning platform, global CO2 emissions have completely disappeared and the biodiversity crisis is massive. It's time to get serious!
Can you imagine cities that feel like forests, where buildings are covered with plants and trees and the roofs are plastered with gardens and agriculture? Can you imagine buildings that are electrified and where the energy source is renewable? Or what about cities that bring people together in communities and where mental well-being is at its best? We can, because we dream of a regenerative future!

Regenerative construction is an ambitious goal, and it requires serious quantum leaps in how we plan, design and build. At this event, we once again raise the bar when we focus on the theme 'Regenerative Construction'. You will learn more about regenerative construction and what we can do right now and here to move towards it.

Does it sound too radical, ambitious or like a fantasy? So remember that cities are created by people and that initiatives are launched and implemented in many places around the world.

Over 2 days in the Forum, you can experience a comprehensive program with great Danish and international speakers and exciting debates that give you their perspective on how we can work to move towards generative construction and raise our sustainable ambitions. Under the theme 'Regenerative Construction' you will gain new knowledge, inspiration and insight into the work with sustainability in construction. You get in-depth with topics such as all kinds of life, renovation and transformation, materials on the planet's premises and energy and CO2 emissions. In addition, you can experience a large exhibition with solutions and products with sustainable measures.
