Nordic Climate Forum for Construction 2021
The Nordic ministers decided in 2018 that harmonization of building regulation should be strengthened. This led to the first Nordic Climate forum for Construction in 2019, which became the starting point of an effort towards Nordic harmonization for low carbon emissions from construction.
The climate forum is planned as a yearly event for discussions with policymakers and stakeholders from industry, academia, and the finance sector.
Below are the recording from the 2021 Nordic Climate Forum for Construction that was hosted by the Icelandic building authority.
