SUMMARY:European Sustainable Construction Conference 2025
DESCRIPTION:The European Sustainable Construction Conference will unite policymakers\, industry leaders\, academics\, and civil society to address the construction sector’s role in driving sustainability and competitiveness. Contributing 9% of the EU’s GDP and employing 18 million people\, the sector also generates over 35% of the EU’s waste and 36% of energy-related greenhouse gas emissions. \n\n\n\nKey discussions will focus on aligning with EU policies like the Circular Economy Action Plan\, Construction Transition Pathway\, and New European Bauhaus Initiative. Topics include reducing waste\, advancing material reuse\, lifecycle design\, and managing construction waste to meet circular economy goals. Digitalisation through Building Information Modelling (BIM) and AI will highlight efficiency and sustainability improvements\, while the New European Bauhaus ethos will explore blending sustainability with cultural and modern design. \n\n\n\nThe conference will also address resilient supply chains\, workforce upskilling\, and inclusion to support green and digital transitions. Participants will collaborate on actionable strategies and policies to position the construction sector as a leader in sustainability\, resilience\, and long-term European competitiveness.

SUMMARY:IEA 10th Annual Global Conference on Energy Efficiency 2025
DESCRIPTION:The International Energy Agency’s 10th Annual Global Conference on Energy Efficiency is being co-hosted by IEA Executive Director Dr Fatih Birol and European Commissioner for Energy and Housing Dan Jørgensen\, in Brussels on 12 and 13 June 2025. The event is being held in partnership with the Energy Efficiency Movement. \n\n\n\nThe 10th edition of the IEA’s landmark event comes at a pivotal moment. Governments agreed at COP28 to double the rate of global energy efficiency improvements by 2030. Achieving this goal is critical if the international community is to bring about the secure\, affordable clean energy system that can meet our shared climate goals. But progress must accelerate rapidly if the goal is to be met. \n\n\n\nThe 10th Global Conference provides the key forum in 2025 for Ministers\, CEOs and senior leaders to come together to chart a path towards achieving the doubling goal. They will examine how best to maximise energy efficiency’s potential to boost affordability for consumers\, industrial competitiveness and energy security – in every region of the world. Over two days of high-level panels\, roundtable discussions\, workshops and meetings\, participants will develop solutions for enacting stronger policy action and unlocking investment in energy efficiency.  \n\n\n\nA ministerial roundtable chaired by the co-hosts will provide the setting for government decision makers to discuss how to move forward. A parallel CEO roundtable\, held in collaboration with the Energy Efficiency Movement\, will allow industry leaders to examine the challenges and opportunities they face in order to overcome barriers to further progress. \n\n\n\nWe look forward to welcoming delegates from around the world to this pivotal event. Participation is by invitation only. If you have any questions then please contact efficiency.conference@iea.org
