Sustainable Construction has been a CIB Priority Theme since 1995. Amongst others this has resulted in two worldwide agenda setting publications: the CIB "Agenda 21 on Sustainable Construction" and the joint CIB-UNEP "Agenda on Sustainable Construction in developing countries". Both publications can be downloaded for free here.
Together UNEP-SBCI, iiSBE and recently FIDIC, CIB is a co-sponsor of the series of the SB Conference series.
In October 2011 the SB 2010/2011 Series was concluded with the World Sustainable Building Conference - SB11 Helsinki.
A new series is being prepared for 2013 and 2014. The World Sustainable Building Conference will be held in Barcelona, October 2014. The theme will be "Sustainable Building Results… are we moving as quickly as we should?".
For more information on the SB13-14 Conferences see the SB Portal here.
Among the subjects will be: assessing resilience and adaptive capacity of existing infrastructure, assessing attitudes of built environment professionals to climate change induced extreme weather, and preparing for extreme weather events - short term and long term measures.
Early this year the global co-sponsors issued a Call for Proposals for the new SB13 and SB14 conferences. From the detailed proposals received the co-sponsors selected 8 proposals for SB13 conferences, and the best proposal submitted for the SB14 conference.
