Briefing: Defining net zero targets | Human-first urban planning with C40 | Towards profitable lower emission steel
In this edition, we unpack the new SBTi standards and unveil C40’s toolkit, authored by Ramboll, putting people at the heart of urban planning.
We also reveal how the world’s longest underwater tunnel, Fehmarnbelt, is rewriting the infrastructure rulebook to connect Scandinavia with Central Europe and offer a shorter, faster, and lower emission route for both people and freight.
Finally, we explore the potential of adaptive reuse and refurbishment of buildings to boost scientific advancement and how to make lower emission steel profitable.
