About us

The Future Plymouth 2030 webinar series intend to discuss collaborative journeys required to achieve reduced carbon development, presenting some of the tools necessary to realise a sustainable city and help to define a better path for a viable future for Plymouth.

Future Plymouth 2030 is a series of fortnightly webinars to be delivered online from now until May 2021 on a whole host of topics ranging from the practical skills and technologies required to design and build better performing new buildings, how to tackle retrofitting existing buildings, biodiversity and carbon sequestration to behaviour change required to achieve any of this. More topics are emerging as partners are engaging and the programme is really taking shape.

With buildings currently contributing the largest proportion of Plymouth's greenhouse gas emissions (at 31%), the Built Environment community is coming together to work towards the city's climate declaration goal of being carbon neutral by 2030.

Join us to hear the latest research, industry developments and case studies. Each webinar includes guest speakers from across the University's built environment disciplines, including architecture, environmental building, urban development, construction technologies, building performance, occupant behaviour, green walls and power electronics.

The webinars will cover a wealth of topics, ranging from how to design and build better performing new buildings, how to tackle retrofitting existing buildings, to biodiversity, carbon sequestration, behaviour change and much more.

Get booked up and take part in this useful series of toolkit talks and debate, to learn, share and take practical steps towards a sustainable future for Plymouth!
