How is the business sector responding to climate change? – the experiences of the Race to Zero working group, from mitigation and adaptation to resilience
The built environment plays a key role in both achieving climate-neutral operations and building resilience—this was one of the main messages from the BCSDH Race to Zero working group on May 5.
The event was opened by Irén Márta, managing director of the BCSDH, and Zsolt Hintenberger, founding partner of the host company Realiscon. In their opening remarks, they emphasized that companies play an indispensable role in combating climate change, particularly through the built environment.

The program continued with moderated panel discussions, where participants had the opportunity to share their experiences and practical solutions. As the group discussed these issues, it became clear that responses to climate change are now matters of competitiveness, and that engaging the entire value chain and raising awareness remain significant challenges.
The official part of the event concluded with an informal discussion, which further strengthened the potential for cooperation in the field of sustainability.
