Join us for a discussion on the shortage of raw materials necessary for construction and manufacturing.
Raw materials are often hidden from sight, not often thought about. But with rising prices in lumber and concrete, there’s been a noticeable effect through scarcity and the increase in costs. How has this material shortage and the resulting inflation affected projects from building construction to solar panels to lithium batteries? How sustainable is our consumption of raw materials and what can be done to make our supply chain more resilient to climate change and further pandemics.
Join us at our July Forum to find out.
Speakers TBA. Check back soon.
