About this Event
PATHWAYS TO DECARBONISING OUR CITIES
As cities continue to grow and urban populations rise, the future of sustainability will be determined by how we design, build, and live in our cities. From sustainable construction to climate-informed policy, every choice plays a role in shaping resilient, livable urban environments.
The Matcha Initiative’s upcoming evening brings together two dynamic and interactive workshops that dive into the heart of Sustainable Cities. Whether you're curious about how the built environment contributes to carbon emissions, or how global policies play out at the local level, there’s a workshop here for you.
Join us for an evening of learning, collaboration, and solution-building, where we’ll explore what it really takes to build the cities of tomorrow.
Join ONE of the two interactive workshops:
*Please make sure to select the workshop of your choice during ticketing process.
1) The Construction Collage - Building Sustainably
From cement to cooling, the way we construct our cities has a massive environmental footprint.
Led by Bizsu, this hands-on workshop demystifies how the built environment contributes to emissions and what we can do about it.
What you’ll learn:
- The carbon cost of materials like cement and steel
- Energy use in construction and the urban heat island effect
- Waste generation and sustainable alternatives
Whether you’re in the industry or simply passionate about sustainable innovation, this session will get you thinking differently about buildings and climate.
2) En-ROADS Climate Workshop - Climate Solutions in Action
What global policies can lead us to a safer, cooler future - and how do they play out locally?
Led by Andras Komlosi (Founder and Director of SPECC.earth), using the powerful En-ROADS climate simulator, this workshop explores the impact of decisions across sectors. Through interactive modeling and real-time data, participants explore solutions and trade-offs to make informed, impactful climate choices.
No experience required. Whether you're a policy nerd or just curious, this session is for anyone interested in seeing what climate solutions actually work - globally and locally.
For En-ROADS participants, you are encouraged to bring a laptop/tablet for the workshop. However, this is not compulsory
