ECOCONSTRUCTION THURSDAYS - WEBINAR 3/3 : Change the image and amplify the impact of ecoconstruction

They will successively address 3 key themes for the deployment and scaling up, by crossing perspectives from the South and the North:

1. Towards a standardization of the sector: materials, techniques, construction of a sector
2. Ecoconstruction training at all levels : SKILLS DEVELOPMENT - QUALIFICATION - EMPLOYABILITY
3. Change the image and amplify the impact of ecoconstruction: extension, communication, and scaling up

Webinar No. 3 in a few key words:

• Highlighting feedback and concrete tools to equip public and private decision-makers in integrating ecoconstruction into their projects.​
• Exploring incentives, regulatory, and financial levers that encourage the sector’s scaling up.​
• Building a network of stakeholders - institutions, companies, universities, and associations - committed to developing a sustainable ecoconstruction sector.​

This third webinar aims to bring together public, private, academic, and professional players for a discussion on scaling and changing perceptions of ecoconstruction. The goal is to reposition this approach as a modern model, accessible and able to create local value, while identifying political, economic, and technical levers necessary for mainstreaming it at both national and regional levels.​
