Richard Palmer Featured at Middle East and Africa Green Building Congress
World Green Building Council celebrates 20 years by convening hundreds of industry leaders from the built environment to share the latest trends and developments in sustainable buildings at the 4th Middle East & Africa Green Building Congress. This year, WorldGBC is going Beyond Buildings, launching the WorldGBC MENA Sustainable Reconstruction Framework and building momentum to COP27 Egypt and COP28 UAE.
The two-day virtual business forum will be a chance to share best practices and regional case studies on how we can collectively respond to the climate and social challenges facing the region. It will also be a chance to highlight ways to ensure that buildings contribute to the health and wellbeing of their occupiers, minimize negative impacts to the environment, and maximize economic benefits — especially in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. This Congress is particularly tailored for global professionals, business leaders, policymakers and change champions to engage, connect and advance your knowledge in sustainable building and construction.
Integral Group is proud to be represented by Director, Global Sustainability Richard Palmer in the panel discussion:
