Future opportunity

The built environment sector must rapidly tackle the climate and ecological crises and associated social impacts. Stretching commitments are being made by governments, local authorities, industry organisations and individual companies. Achieving these commitments requires radical changes in the way our built environment is planned, constructed, and operated. This is resulting in new challenges that UKGBC members across the industry are seeking solutions for. UKGBC therefore has an ongoing area of work on Solutions & Innovation to identify innovative solutions, help enable the conditions that support innovation adoption across the industry and create a network around sustainable innovation for the built environment.

The Solutions & Innovation Advisory Group is a network of ambitious individuals responsible for supporting UKGBC and innovators within our membership with technical advice and market insight, whilst providing innovation advocacy within their own organisations.
