  32.  
  33. <p> Following water, concrete is the world's second-most abundant resource - or to put it another way, it is the most widely used manufactured substance on the globe. Its profound impact on shaping our world is rooted in its strength, durability, resilience,
  34.    safety, and cost-effectiveness, making it indispensable for the construction of critical infrastructure. </p>
  35.  
  36. <p> Concrete plays a pivotal role in steering our global trajectory towards sustainable development, particularly in terms of mitigating and adapting to the effects of climate change, supporting the infrastructure necessary for clean energy initiatives and
  37.    enhancing the energy efficiency of buildings - underlining its significance in the broader context of environmental consciousness and responsible construction practices. </p>
  38.  
  39. <p> This half-day seminar will help construction professionals to enhance buildings and infrastructure via a better understanding of the current building for climate change context, the constituent impacts of concrete, the intricacies of specifying (low carbon)
  40.    concrete and the efficiencies that can be achieved in structural design. </p>
