In collaboration between the Nordic Green Building Councils, a number of topics during the year will be discussed from a Nordic perspective. The third Nordic webinar focuses on circular economy in the built environment. Knowledge sharing across borders between the Nordic countries – Sweden, Norway, Finland, Iceland and Denmark – is key to keep pushing the sustainable agenda within the building and construction industry.

This webinar will introduce you to cases and examples from all Nordic countries.
