Aiming for Net Zero - What is the Real Estate sector in the UK and China doing?
Webinar: Tuesday 02 November, 12:00 - 13:30
Co-hosts: ECBF and Browne Jacobson LLP
China and the UK have both made commitments to aim for net-zero carbon and the built environment is acknowledged as playing a significant part in that. In their aims to build more sustainably, we explore what the players in the two different countries can learn from the diverse ways each approaches the issue.
