Session 11: Advancing the built environment toward energy and circularity transitions: Challenges and Opportunities
Advancing the built environment toward energy and circularity transitions: Challenges and Opportunities
The built environment is at the heart of the required transitions towards sustainability. Key to this is how we plan, build, navigate, power, maintain, heat and cool our cities – while providing wellbeing and quality of life to all. In this session, early career researchers from the CML (Institute of Environmental Sciences) in Leiden University will present recent advancements and ongoing socioeconomic metabolism research on these topics, from the buildings resolution to the global scale, and from current issues to future challenges.
Date & time: May 12 01:00-03:00 UTC
Chair: Glenn Aguilar Hernandez
