This stage explored how education can be a key enabler in transitioning to a circular economy. We discussed the opportunities and risks within the UK and international education sectors, including the impact of investing £1.8 billion in school and college construction and new skills programs. Panelists addressed how education can prepare us for a changing world and support the shift to a net-zero, circular economy.
The theatre was filled to capacity, and into the aisles, and there were cheers at the end of each talk, with a plethora of questions from the audience about what is a fast-developing concept involving every sector of the property world from demolition contractors right up to financiers.
