In the wake of the climate emergency, we need to reduce the impact of everyday urban life on resources, from the scale of the individual to an international approach. In this context, ANCB will investigate new materials and technologies that will play a key role in design and planning to reach sustainability goals and exemplary applications that can contribute to health and comfort, including limiting waste, helping our ecosystem and increasing affordability.
