On 12 January 2022 (1 p.m. to 2:15 p.m. GMT), this webinar in the Sustainable Infrastructure: Putting Principle into Practice series will explore Principle #7: Enhancing Economic Benefits from UNEP’s International Good Practice Principles for Sustainable Infrastructure.
On the second Wednesday of every month, join a 75-minute discussion to:
- Exchange state-of-the-art knowledge on how to plan and build sustainable infrastructure;
- Participate in an interactive forum to learn from other practitioners as they present case studies, including best practices and pitfalls; and
- Connect with a community of individuals and organizations engaged in the sustainable infrastructure sphere.
Technical and case study presentations will focus on one of ten principles from UNEP’s International Good Practice Principles for Sustainable Infrastructure:

- Resource Efficiency and Circularity
- Equity, Inclusiveness, and Empowerment
