Five years of the Net Zero Bridges Group: What did we learn and what should we do next?

13:30 - 14:00

This session takes stock of how far the bridge community has come in decarbonising its infrastructure, and how far there is still to go. Drawing on the Group’s work, it reflects on what has been learned and sets out where the industry’s focus should turn next.

The presentation will cover:

  • Key lessons from the first five years of the Net Zero Bridges Group
  • Where good progress is being made in decarbonising bridge infrastructure
  • The challenges that still lie ahead
  • The opportunities that should take priority over the next five years
