Build Green Now 2026 Conference which takes place on Wednesday 27 May at the Royal Hospital Kilmainham in Dublin, will bring together Ireland’s leading voices from across the built environment, policy design and industry under the theme ‘Better Buildings, Better Communities, Better Business’.

The Irish Green Building Council’s conference will feature the following panel of speakers who will explore how sustainability continues to drive business resilience, community wellbeing and national progress:

*James Browne TD, Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage

*Adrian Joyce, Director at the Renovate Europe Campaign

*Alex White, Barrister, Former Government Minister, Head of iiea.com, Chair of Climate Change Advisory Council (CCAC)

At a time when sustainability is facing increasing pushback across Europe and globally, ‘Build Green Now’ reaffirms that sustainability is not a barrier to growth – it is the pathway to it, according to the Irish Green Building Council (IGBC).

IGBC noted that sustainability remains central to creating a prosperous and resilient future, from accelerating affordable housing delivery to strengthening Ireland’s climate action and circular economy ambitions.
