It is abundantly clear now that we are going to have to do things very differently. On a macro-level, innovation will be the key to combatting the climate challenge, but this will need to be actively supported by the right policies.

If I had control of the purse strings I’d roll out appropriate funds, incentives or tax breaks as required to support green innovations. Investment greases the wheels of innovation.

On a more micro – but no less important – level, mandating wholelife carbon assessments on new build developments would be my top priority. While you would be hard pressed to find anyone not willing to acknowledge the need to address embodied carbon in the sector, we require a policy framework to spark mass engagement.
