IIASA Energy, Climate, and Environment Program Director, Keywan Riahi, will be one of the speakers and a participant in a panel discussion at the grand opening of the summer universities Alternative Economic and Monetary Systems and Green.Building.Solutions in Vienna on Monday, 15 July 2024. The event will also be live-streamed.
Climate change and the resulting need for changes in the building and housing sector pose new challenges for our society. To master them requires not only a transformation of the construction industry, but also of the economic system: Endless economic growth and profit maximization often come at the expense of the environment and future generations. Which measures do we need in the construction and economic sector to drive change towards sustainability? And which of them are already put into practice?
This year’s Grand Opening of the summer universities Alternative Economic and Monetary Systems and Green.Building.Solutions. will introduce these topics in key notes, followed by a concluding panel discussion.
