Can Sustainability be localised
| Event Synopsis |
HKIUD, with the support of HKIP and HKIA, is delighted to invite you to an engaging webinar exploring: CAN SUSTAINABILITY BE LOCALISED? What Matters Across Buildings, Communities and Places. From Buildings and Nations to Communities and Places “The Sustainable Development Goals will be delivered at the local level, or not at all.”
UN Deputy Secretary-General Amina Mohammed, 2026 Sustainability challenges are global, yet action is increasingly local. As the Sustainable Development Goals and sustainability certification frameworks increasingly converge on communities and places, a fundamental question emerges: can sustainability be meaningfully localised, and if so, at what scale should it be measured, governed and improved?
This webinar brings together international experts to explore whether global sustainability goals can be meaningfully localised and how emerging frameworks are reshaping the measurement and governance of sustainability across scales, from buildings to communities and beyond. With a focus on legacy sustainability, recognising that the greatest sustainability challenge often lies not only in designing new places, but mostly in improving the places where most people already live, work and interact. · Why are building and national assessments alone no longer sufficient?
· How are community and place-based sustainability frameworks evolving? · What is driving demand from developers, investors and governments? · Can places improve if they cannot measure their collective performance? · How can places develop a shared understanding of their sustainability performance and trajectory? Takeaway for participants · Knowledge of certification pathways beyond building LEED, WELL…
· Understanding of emerging community sustainability standards. · Perspectives on measuring place performance and social impact. · Implications for planning, development and urban regeneration in Hong Kong and beyond. Deadline for online registration: 21 Oct 2026
