At this international conference, inputs from actors involved with the Buy Clean movement in the USA (public procurement of building products) and mandatory maximum carbon threshold standard setting for buildings in Denmark and the Netherlands will be complemented with interactive sessions on the limitations and potentials of these approaches and the transfer of lessons learnt.

The conference will highlight potentials for coordinated actions and provide space for networking. Within interactive workshops, panel discussions and keynote presentations, connections will be explored between

  • the US Inflation Reduction Act
  • public and private pledges to buy ultra-low carbon products through the Clean Energy Ministerial’s Industrial Deep Decarbonisation Initiative (IDDI)
  • and the First Movers Coalition.

The conference will be hybrid. Please, register here.
