SBE22 Asia Pacific is an international and academic high-end conference. It will bring together experts, scholars and elites in the field of construction in the Asia Pacific region and even the world to share their academic research and practical experience on "carbon neutrality and climate adaptability", "nearly- zero carbon cities", "nearly-zero energy consumption buildings", "methods and tools for constructing low carbon buildings", "markets and policies", "high-quality development of green buildings" etc..

Shenzhen’s green building and building energy efficiency career has started early, planned early and implemented early, and achieved remarkable results. Shenzhen was honored as a "green pioneer" city by the Ministry of Housing and Urban Rural Development, and was elected the most competitive city for green building development in China in 2021. The achievements of SBE22 Asia-Pacific will be taken as a valuable knowledge wealth to inspire new ideas for the growth of the industry and speed up the realization of China’s “dual carbon” goals.

Shenzhen is honored to have this opportunity to show the world its urban glamour, green development and innovative vitality, and take a more solid step to become a world-class city and to help boost the green construction in “Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area” and “the Belt and Road”.
