“Sustainable built environment –
the role of the construction community in meeting the UN SDGs”

The work of CIB, its working commissions and task groups is closely aligned to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, and this is reflected in the theme of World Building Congress 2025 WBC2025, which is Sustainable built environment – the role of the construction community in meeting the UN SDGs.

A significant amount of work has been done by the team to pull together the different streams, meetings and events which together form WBC2025, and it’s an ongoing process as we approach the conference.

We are now publishing the In-Person schedule, and other elements of the program including Online schedule and Master Program, will be made available once they have been finalised and checked.
