We are all part of the green industrial revolution – but it’s only just begun

Chloe McCulloch

With COP26 having ended in a bit of a whimper, we must now ask ourselves what we as an industry can do to make change

I have to admit to feeling rather depressed this week about the way the COP26 climate conference appeared to falter at the last moment with its fudge over “phasing down” rather than “phasing out” coal. It seems silly to let the Machiavellian moves of world leaders affect your mood, but I don’t think I’m alone.

We have seen a real range of views and emotions expressed by industry figures this week as people have had time to digest the outcomes of the negotiations and the possible impacts at global level and for the construction sector.
