Dear DABS Member,

We are excited to invite you to an exclusive event featuring Jakob Strømann-Andersen, Director of Innovation and Sustainability at the international design studio Henning Larsen. With his extensive expertise in sustainable design and decarbonization, Jakob will share valuable insights on advancing urban sustainability.


Lead The Sustainability Shift In Asia With Carbon Literacy For Net-Zero

Unboxing Carbon for Cities: Are you looking to improve your knowledge on carbon and urban development? 
 
Jakob Strømann-Andersen, Innovation & Sustainability Director, and partner, Henning Larsen, is visiting Singapore to conduct the first public workshop on Unboxing Carbon and has agreed to meet with DABS members to talk about decarbonization. 

Cities cover just 3% of the Earth's land but produce over 70% of global CO2 emissions, making the move towards net-zero emissions urgent. In response to this, Singapore aims to achieve net-zero by 2050. 

We will be looking at Europe’s leading policies for net-zero and why this is relevant for businesses in Singapore, followed by case studies of low-carbon projects in Scandinavia and an introduction to the concept of embodied carbon and how it determines your carbon footprint. 

Key topics include:

  • The impact of climate change linked to urban development in a global perspective

  • Leading decarbonization policies from Denmark and Europe

  • Case studies of low-carbon buildings in Scandinavia

  • Hands-on learning about embodied carbon in materials 

This event offers the opportunity to learn actionable strategies, explore industry-leading practices, and enhance your ability to discuss decarbonization with clients and colleagues.
