Building a Sustainable Future - Why Should Businesses Care, What Can They Do
About this Event

The GEC Sustainability Cluster and Techies Go Green present the Urban Sustainability Forum!


Urban environmental quality is no longer just a planning issue, it’s a growing business performance issue affecting talent attraction, employee health, operating costs, climate resilience, and regulatory exposure.


This will be an interactive series of sessions using Dublin as a real-world case study of a fast-growing city with growing transport and environmental problems that are currently damaging the health and welfare of residents and slowing the growth prospects of its businesses.


Sessions will identify problems, demonstrate the role of good data for planning, and propose practical solutions businesses, residents and urban planners can take to mitigate these problems. Expect lively discussions, cool presentations, and a chance to meet others who care about urban sustainability. Don't miss out on being part of the change—see you there!
