Sustainable Infrastructure and Energy
Trade Mission to the UAE 2024

Meet and connect with sustainable infrastructure and energy companies from the UK

Sustainable infrastructure is vital to the acceleration of the global clean growth and climate resilience agenda - the UK is at the forefront of new technologies and approaches.
UK infrastructure has a compelling offer for markets across the globe, and the UK Government wants to ensure infrastructure projects are flourishing while:
 

• reducing the global impact on the environment
• bringing greenhouse gas emissions to net zero by 2050
• helping to mitigate the impacts of climate change

Buildings account for 40% of annual global greenhouse gas emissions, so addressing the whole life carbon of buildings is a focus for the UK Government. The UK has a world-leading Building Information Modelling (BIM) offer which can improve the carbon performance of infrastructure projects and help support sustainability in construction.

The UK is also developing Modern Methods of Construction (MMC) and investing in retrofitting our existing building stock with new technologies, such as heat pumps, to increase efficiency in building construction and use.

In addition, the UK is leading on infrastructure adaptation and resilience and is providing the latest tools, advice and research to inform future climate policies.
