The European Commission’s New European Bauhaus calls for a creative, interdisciplinary movement to engage on a transformative path towards affordable and beautiful living spaces in the urban and rural environment. A key step is the transformation of the building sector into a circular model that can also counteract the escalating climate crisis. Welcoming this initiative, the European wood-based sector aims to create an open platform “wood4bauhaus” that brings together its manifold stakeholders.

The conference aims to raise awareness for the transformative power of the Circular Economy, put a spotlight on the versatility of innovative wood-based products and building systems, and propose dedicated co-creation partnerships with the wood sector for the New European Bauhaus.

We are very proud to announce Prof. John Schellnhuber, Director Emeritus of the PIK – Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research, as keynote speaker of virtual conference. He advocates that forests and wood products, being the main natural resource that can effectively absorb carbon from the atmosphere and store it in the built environment, offer a simple yet revolutionary solution for climate change mitigation. He is a mastermind behind the New European Bauhaus movement and member of the High-Level Roundtable to bring about a systemic change to the way we build our cities and rural areas.
