UKGBC’s Net Zero Solutions Forum provides a space to discuss learnings and experiences of existing net zero solutions and challenges. By bringing together organisations from across the building value chain, it enables the cross-sector thinking needed to drive progress. Our forums are member-led, and by leveraging the power of UKGBC to bring stakeholders together, our members can work on their key challenges alongside other motivated parties.

As the Net Zero Solutions Forum takes continues to take shape throughout 2024, the sessions will focus on different topic including: Retrofit, Whole Life Carbon, Organisational Commitments and Finance & Value.

Each event, both online and in-person, will follow the same base structure:

  • Opening case study presentation – A UKGBC member has the opportunity to bring forward either a case study that highlights a successfully implemented solution or a challenge that they’d like to work on with the forum
  • Open Q&A / discussion
  • Wrapping up with networking in smaller groups

Principles

The forum is founded on the following broad principles:

  • Solutions focused: the forum should actively create, promote, and share solutions to delivering net zero carbon buildings at scale.
  • Peer-to-peer learning: the forum should encourage the sharing of strategies to help deliver net zero, including organisational net zero commitments.
  • Advocate: the forum should use its collective strength to demonstrate leadership on net zero in the construction and property sector

Ways of working

Forum meetings take place roughly every six weeks, alternating between in-person and online events. In line with our ambition to create a national UKGBC network, our in-person meetings will rotate around several locations across the UK.

Please note the forum is currently only open to UKGBC member organisations. For more information on the many benefits of membership, please see this page.
