Congratulations, @paola.fiore ! We are extremely happy and proud of the fact that the Italian Volunteer National Coordinator Dr. Paola Fiore has been awarded the Alfredo Sirkis Memorial Green Ring Award by the @climatereality Founder and Chairman Al Gore for her outstanding commitment to climate change action and advocacy with the Italian Team @climaterealityitalia , the European Branch @climaterealityeurope and the global Community of the Climate Reality Project. Her authentic legacy and passionate dedication have brought forward many impactful climate actions and have inspired lots of Climate Reality Leaders in Italy, Europe, and worldwide. As this 56th Climate Reality Leadership Corps Training in Rome has come to an end, we wish to thank everyone for the amazing energy and work. Our Italian Team looks forward to welcome all the newly trained Climate Leaders. Don’t forget to tag us! #ActOnClimate #leadonclimate #LeadWithClimateReality @algore @ClimateReality @ClimaterealityEurope @paola.fiore Congratulazioni, @paola.fiore! Siamo estremamente felici e orgogliosi che la coordinatrice nazionale dei volontari italiani, la dott.ssa Paola Fiore, sia stata premiata con l’Alfredo Sirkis Memorial Green Ring Award dal fondatore e presidente di @climatereality Al Gore per il suo eccezionale impegno nell’azione contro il cambiamento climatico e nell’advocacy con il team italiano di @climaterealityitalia , la filiale europea @climaterealityeurope e la comunità globale del Climate Reality Project. La sua eredità autentica e la sua dedizione appassionata hanno fatto progredire molte azioni di impatto sul clima e ispirato molti Climate Reality Leaders in Italia, in Europa e nel mondo. Al termine di questo 56° Climate Reality Leadership Corps Training , vorremmo ringraziare tutti per la loro straordinaria energia e il loro lavoro. Il nostro team italiano non vede l’ora di dare il benvenuto a tutti i Climate Reality Leaders appena formati. Non dimenticate di taggarci!

Water scarcity has become a core concern for sustainable construction and sustainable building design, with the United Nations warning of potential global water bankruptcy and heightened risk to desalination plants in the Gulf. The construction sector is shifting towards diversified water systems that embed efficiency, reuse, and resilience. These changes align with whole life carbon and lifecycle assessment principles, ensuring environmental sustainability in construction through resource efficiency in construction and life cycle cost analysis. In the UK, stronger regulation following pollution incidents is driving utilities to invest in cleaner networks and green infrastructure, creating new pipelines of low carbon construction materials and sustainable building practices.

Digital manufacturing is transforming eco-friendly construction through AI-driven tools that automate complex formwork and optimise material use. By integrating eco-design for buildings and low carbon design methodologies, contractors reduce embodied carbon in materials and the overall carbon footprint of construction. This digital precision supports net zero whole life carbon strategies and demonstrates how circular construction strategies underpin a circular economy in construction.

Energy security and climate risk are reinforcing the need for carbon neutral construction and renewable building materials. Projects optimised for energy-efficient buildings and net zero carbon buildings are proving more resilient, cost-stable, and aligned with whole life carbon assessment frameworks. The industry trajectory favours sustainable material specification, end-of-life reuse in construction, and decarbonising the built environment through lifecycle performance and life cycle thinking in construction. Firms advancing sustainable design founded on building lifecycle performance and resource efficiency will lower embodied carbon while improving long-term asset resilience, delivering measurable reductions in the environmental impact of construction.
