IMAGINE TODAS AS PESSOAS!!!!
Gente, que experiência MARAVILHOSA!
Encontrar pessoas que compartilham nossos valores, crenças e ambições por um futuro melhor para o planeta 🌎 é revigorante. Dá uma nova força para seguir lutando, mesmo quando o mundo tenta nos atropelar e silenciar nossas vozes.
Foram três dias de IMERSÃO em conteúdos de ponta, com palestrantes inspiradores e colegas altamente motivados. Uma honra para a Clara de 14 anos que assistiu Uma Verdade Inconveniente do Mr. Gore pela primeira vez. Para a Clara de 25, que parou de comer carne por amor aos animais e se inspirou em Sir Paul McCartney. E também para a Clara de quase 34, que muitas vezes se sente impotente diante da imensidão do desafio.
Mas acreditar que é possível mudar o futuro já é o início da solução. Inspirar quem está ao nosso lado multiplica os resultados. Agir localmente gera impacto global. 🌍
Obrigada, @theclimatereality e @algore, pela oportunidade que quero honrar com todo afinco. Agora sou uma Liderança Climática — e ninguém vai me segurar! 💚 Bora lá @climaterealitybrasil

IMAGINE ALL THE PEOPLE!
What an INCREDIBLE experience!
Meeting people who share the same values, beliefs, and ambitions for a better future for our planet 🌎 is truly energizing. It reignites our strength to keep fighting, even when the world tries to overwhelm us and silence our voices.
I spent three full days IMMERSED in cutting-edge content, with inspiring speakers and highly motivated colleagues. It was an honor for 14-year-old Clara, who watched An Inconvenient Truth by Mr. Gore for the first time. For 25-year-old Clara, who stopped eating meat out of love for animals and was inspired by Sir Paul McCartney. And for almost-34 Clara, who often feels powerless in the face of such a massive challenge.
But believing that change is possible is already the beginning of the solution. Motivating those around us amplifies the results. Acting locally has a global impact. 🌍
Thank you, @theclimatereality and @algore, for this opportunity that I intend to embrace fully. From now on, I am a Climate Leader — and nothing will hold me back! 💚 Let’s go @climaterealitybrasil
Policy across global construction is diverging. In the EU, revised Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive rules ease near-term disclosure, while UK regulators tighten expectations for biodiversity and habitat protection to meet 2030 nature targets. Market response suggests superficial reporting no longer satisfies investors prioritising measurable outcomes in sustainable construction and environmental sustainability in construction. ESG performance is influencing asset valuation and risk rating alongside whole life carbon assessment benchmarks.
Physical climate risk is altering design parameters faster than sustainability standards evolve. Rising sea levels and climate volatility are reshaping sustainable building design principles, forcing developers to integrate low carbon design, resilient infrastructure, and lifecycle assessment from the outset. Coastal defences, surface water strategies, overheating mitigation, and retrofit solutions now define the building lifecycle performance of energy-efficient buildings. Projects resistant to adaptation risk significant write‑downs, underlining the importance of whole life carbon and life cycle cost analysis in every investment case.
Decarbonisation practice is accelerating. Transport for London’s full transition to solar-sourced electricity demonstrates how large public entities can act as anchors for renewable building materials manufacturing and clean energy procurement through power purchase agreements. The move supports net zero carbon buildings, net zero whole life carbon operations, and lower embodied carbon in materials used for eco-friendly construction. Cornwall’s approval for geothermal lithium extraction points to early domestic circular economy in construction, underpinning future battery supply chains essential for electrified plant and fleet decarbonisation.
For the sector, credibility rests on verified performance, not compliance claims. Developers and contractors are embedding sustainable building practices, circular construction strategies, and resource efficiency in construction into every tender. The shift combines eco-design for buildings with sustainable material specification, supporting a circular economy model and aligning with BREEAM and forthcoming BREEAM v7 frameworks. Carbon footprint reduction, low embodied carbon materials, and long-term end-of-life reuse in construction strengthen financial resilience and investor confidence in low carbon building portfolios.
Capital markets are rewarding delivery tied to measurable environmental impact of construction and decarbonising the built environment outcomes, reinforcing a clear direction toward carbon neutral construction and sustainable urban development grounded in life cycle thinking in construction.
