Everyone understands the climate crisis we’re living in. By 2045 we need to decarbonise our entire built world.
Breaking Barriers
BE-ST Fest '23
The UK’s biggest festival for a zero-carbon built environment will play host to transformative discussion and knowledge exchange on how we can break through barriers to accelerate our journey to zero carbon.
As we reach COP28 let’s accelerate the progress made in the last year and do what needs to be done to keep the momentum going.
BE-ST Fest 2023 is a three-month festival showcasing best practice, new solutions, hands-on training, and emerging opportunities for a zero-carbon built environment. The month will build up to the summit at our innovation campus on Wednesday 1st November. The conference will bring together different players across the sector who are focussed on the future of decarbonising our built environment.
