LIFE BE-WoodEN Final Conference

For three years, the LIFE BE-WoodEN project, funded by the LIFE Programme, has worked to promote timber as a sustainable construction material and remove barriers to its wider use in Europe. Timber buildings can significantly reduce carbon emissions compared to conventional construction, yet adoption remains limited. The project encourages low-carbon building solutions, improves circularity and strengthens local timber supply chains, supporting the New European Bauhaus values of sustainability and inclusiveness. 

To celebrate the project’s achievements, a final conference will be held under the title: ‘Tackling embodied carbon through wooden construction. The role of bio-based materials and the New European Bauhaus in building greener futures’. The conference is part of the programme of the Decarbonisation Summit, organised by Housing Europe. The event will feature a networking lunch and presentations on social housing innovation, project results and the impact of the LIFE Programme.
