Brussels - World Green Building Week
Green buildings crucial for cutting carbon and increasing resource efficiency |

Commissioner Potočnik's speech is part of an event that will bring together representatives from European Green Building Councils, key stakeholders within the sustainable building industry and European government officials to introduce the work of the
World Green Building Council European Network and discuss how to make the most of the opportunities that greening our built environment will present.
