POSTPONED - Confronting the Climate Crisis: Re-shaping the built environment

How can engineering and construction transform to respond to the climate emergency? 

UCL IEDE would like to warmly invite you to attend an event to celebrate a rich 55-year history in the field of Environmental Design and Engineering at The Bartlett.

The climate emergency and potential responses from the construction industry is a key theme of the event that will be explored through presentations and discussions with IEDE staff and guest speakers from the industry.

The presentations and discussions will be followed with a social event at UCL South Cloisters. Join us for an evening of thought provoking discussions, networking, drinks and nibbles!
