Overview:
The challenge welcomes solutions from young innovators that:
- Deploy innovative and sustainable building materials and solutions that are affordable and scalable to enable low-carbon, circular, carbon neutral and even carbon negative cities.
- Increase access to sustainable infrastructure, from green mobility to green energy.
- Promotes sustainable lifestyles connecting nature and cities.
- Drive circular economy approaches to enable more recycling.
The Lead2030 Challenge for SDG 11 is fully support by Holcim.
At Holcim, climate action is at the core of our strategy. We are working on four critical growth levers to accelerate the transition to net zero. First, we offer the world’s broadest range of green solutions, like ECOPact green concrete and ECOPlanet green cement, making low-carbon construction possible at scale. With our building solutions, like Airium, an energy-saving insulating foam, and Hydromedia, a permeable concrete that absorbs rainwater, we contribute to build greener cities. Second, we enable smart design, from green and insulating roofs to 3D printing, to significantly reduce the environmental footprint of buildings and infrastructure. Third, we drive the circular economy across everything we do, from recycling construction and demolition waste into new building products to powering our sites with energy drawn from materials at the end of their lifecycle. Lastly, we introduce new technologies, like carbon capture, usage and storage, to not only offer greener products to builders, but to decarbonize the way we make them.
