Webinar n°1 "Legal framework and circularity issues in the real estate sector in Wallonia", QEC 2023

To address the climate emergency, the European Union aims to achieve climate neutrality by 2050. This objective lies at the heart of the European Green Deal and aligns with the EU’s commitment under the Paris Agreement. In this context, EU Member States are required to develop long-term national strategies outlining how they plan to achieve the necessary greenhouse gas emission reductions to meet their obligations under the Paris Agreement and EU targets.

As part of its strategy to achieve its climate ambitions, the Walloon Region places great emphasis on applying circular economy principles across various economic sectors. The real estate sector holds a central position due to its significant environmental impact, including raw material usage, high levels of waste, and energy consumption.

Lydian Lawyers invites you to learn more about the role the real estate sector can play in advancing the circular economy in Wallonia: What is the existing legal framework? What best practices can already be implemented? What legislative changes would be desirable?

In this first webinar (the first in a series of three), discover the legal framework, challenges, and practices related to integrating circularity in the design of real estate projects.
