General description
This presentation addresses the various risks and challenges associated with sustainable construction. While the benefits of eco-friendly building are widely recognised, implementing sustainable practices introduces potential risks that the industry must carefully manage.
Key topics include the Munich Re approach with respect to ESG and biodiversity. We will also explore the risks associated with regulatory uncertainty and rapidly changing environmental standards, which may impact project timelines and increase compliance costs. Additional challenges include the complexity of sourcing sustainable materials, potential shortages, and the risk of greenwashing – where projects are marketed as sustainable without meeting genuine standards. Technical risks, such as the performance reliability of newer, sustainable technologies, will also be addressed, along with the need for skilled labour trained in sustainable construction techniques.
Ultimately, this presentation emphasises the importance of balancing sustainability goals with practical risk management to ensure viable, resilient outcomes in sustainable construction projects.
