WSBE26 is the culmination of a 2-year series of regional conferences around the world. This global event provides a unique opportunity to learn, connect, and collaborate on critical issues facing our built and urban environments.

 The SBE Conference Series (https://sbe-series.org)  is the world’s premier – and one of the longest running – scientific and technical conference series that brings together the best expertise and the latest knowledge and research evidence to support sustainable development and management of the built environment at all scales, in collaboration with stakeholders of the built environment value chain across the world – from local to national, regional and global, and vice versa. The SBE Conference Series is unique in running a linked set of various regional conferences in the year prior to a world conference – the only continuous conference series on the topic that have been doing this since 2000!

The SBE Partners and Permanent Co-hosts consist of four international non-profit organisations:

International Council for Research and Innovation in Building and Construction (CIB, www.cibworld.org )

International Initiative for a Sustainable Built Environment (iiSBE, www.iisbe.org )

International Federation of Consulting Engineers (FIDIC, www.fidic.org )

United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP, www.unenvironment.org)
