SUMMARY:ICCCSC 2026\, Cape Town
DESCRIPTION:Improving the sustainability profile of cement and concrete has become a decisive focus for fostering socially responsible development. Consequently\, reducing the carbon footprint of concrete has gained increasing and widespread attention in research\, development and industry. \n\n\n\n\n\nThe use of calcined clay in concrete production continues to gain momentum internationally and is widely considered the most promising solution for reducing the clinker content in concrete\, consequently minimizing its carbon emissions and promoting sustainable construction. The timely International Conference on Calcined Clay for Sustainable Concrete (ICCCSC) was held in Switzerland (2015)\, Cuba\, (2017)\, India (2019) and China (2024)\, serving as a key platform for discussing developments and application of low-carbon\, sustainable cement technologies. \nThe 5th ICCCSC will take place in Cape Town\, South Africa\, covering topics related to low-carbon cement production\, performance evaluation\, application opportunities\, case studies\, latest research and development in LC2 and LC3 technology\, and environmental efficiency. The focus will be on sustainable concrete technology and application\, addressing production and quality control\, fresh and hardened concrete properties\, service life modelling\, current and future developments\, practical applications\, and more. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWe hope to bring together researchers\, practicing engineers\, cement producers\, infrastructure managers\, concrete technologists\, students\, and the supporting industry from around the world to share knowledge and experience on current developments in sustainable cement and concrete technology\, and to identify future trends\, application potential and further research required to support sustainability in the construction industry of the future. \nThe venue will be the Breakwater Campus of the University of Cape Town situated in the heart of Africa’s most popular tourist destination\, the Victoria and Alfred Waterfront in Cape Town. The city of Cape Town and its surroundings are widely considered among the most beautiful places on the planet and the organizers of ICCCSC are looking forward to welcoming their guests to a vibrant\, colourful and cosmopolitan environment. \n\n\nOfficial Website  \nDoctoral Courses

SUMMARY:Sustainable Buildings and Construction Summit
DESCRIPTION:Building on the success of the first Global Forum on Buildings and Climate held in Paris\, France\, two years prior\, the Sustainable Buildings and Construction Summit 2026\, is a landmark international forum. It brings together a diverse coalition of stakeholders\, thought leaders and innovators from academia\, government\, industry\, and civil society to reimagine how we build and live within planetary boundaries. Convened by EPFL’s Centre for Worldwide Sustainable Construction in collaboration with UNEP as the host of the Global Alliance for Buildings and Construction (GlobalABC)\, the Summit aims to catalyse action on one of the most pressing challenges of our time: transforming the built environment into a driver of environmental sustainability through holistic approaches that seamlessly integrate resilience and socio-economic factors. \nThe GlobalABC Annual Assembly 2026\, Intergovernmental Council for Buildings and Climate (ICBC) Technical Meeting (TBC)\, along with Buildings-Cement-Steel Breakthrough Meetings (TBC) will take place at the Summit. As the leading global platform for a zero-emission\, efficient\, and resilient buildings sector\, the GlobalABC Annual Assembly will unite 380+ GlobalABC members from across the public and private sectors to celebrate achievements\, share best practices\, and set bold priorities for the year ahead. \nEvent Website \nThe venue offers various spaces that can be adapted to offer multiple auditoriums and meeting rooms\, and there is room for hosting more meetings for initiatives and projects. \nTo explore hosting and sponsorship opportunities\, please reach out at contact@sustainable-construction.org. \nParticipant registration will open soon. Stay tuned for updates on how to join this landmark event shaping the future of sustainable buildings and construction. \nOfficial Program

SUMMARY:LC3 Day\, Uzbekistan
DESCRIPTION:Uzbekistan\, strategically located in the heart of Asia\, is experiencing remarkable economic growth with GDP rising at 7–9% annually. As the country accelerates its infrastructure development under the pillars of renewable energy\, e-mobility\, and environmental preservation\, the demand for building materials—particularly cement—is increasing rapidly. To meet this growing need sustainably\, the local cement industry is actively exploring low-carbon alternatives. \nAgainst this backdrop\, the Institute of Renewable Energy Sources under the Ministry of Energy of the Republic of Uzbekistan recently hosted an LC3 Day in Tashkent on 18 August 2026\, bringing together key representatives from both the government and the cement industry. The event serves as a timely platform to discuss the potential of LC3 (Limestone Calcined Clay Cement) as a viable solution to support the nation’s construction boom while significantly reducing carbon emissions. \nWith strong interest and active engagement from all participants\, we look forward to exciting developments ahead. The discussions and collaborations initiated during this LC3 Day are expected to pave the way for cleaner\, more sustainable cement production in Uzbekistan\, aligning with the country’s broader commitment to green growth and energy transition.

SUMMARY:LC3 Day in Ha Noi\, Viet Nam
DESCRIPTION:Advancing Practical Pathways for Low-Carbon Cement\nCement and concrete are essential to Viet Nam’s continued development\, infrastructure expansion and urban growth. At the same time\, cement production is one of the country’s most carbon-intensive industries. As the world’s third-largest cement producer\, Viet Nam’s cement sector accounts for approximately 16% of national greenhouse gas emissions\, making its decarbonization critical not only to the country’s climate commitments\, but also to the long-term competitiveness of its industry. \nThe transition is already underway. Viet Nam is advancing new policy\, financing and technological pathways to support the decarbonization of its cement sector\, while industry and research institutions are increasingly exploring practical solutions to reduce clinker use and lower the carbon intensity of cement production. \nOne of these solutions is Limestone Calcined Clay Cement (LC3). By replacing a significant share of clinker with calcined clay and limestone\, LC3 can reduce CO₂ emissions by up to 40% compared with conventional Portland cement\, while maintaining comparable performance and durability. Importantly\, the technology can be integrated into existing cement infrastructure with relatively limited additional investment\, offering a practical and scalable pathway for countries with established cement industries such as Viet Nam. \nOn 27 August 2026\, stakeholders from across Viet Nam’s cement and construction value chain will come together in Ha Noi for the LC3 Day Workshop. The event is jointly organized by the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO)\, the Viet Nam Institute for Building Materials (VIBM)\, the Low Carbon Construction Association (LCCA)\, the Embassy of Switzerland in Viet Nam and the Viet Nam National Cement Association (VNCA). \nBringing together government representatives\, researchers\, cement producers\, industry leaders and development partners\, the workshop will provide a platform to exchange knowledge and explore practical pathways for accelerating the adoption of low-carbon cement technologies in Viet Nam. \nDiscussions will focus on the potential of LC3 within the Vietnamese context\, including technology and production\, raw materials\, standards and market acceptance\, as well as the broader policy and financing conditions needed to support industrial-scale deployment. \nAs Viet Nam moves towards its net-zero commitment for 2050 and strengthens efforts to decarbonize its heavy industries\, LC3 offers an opportunity to reduce emissions today using technologies and resources that can be deployed at scale. \nLC3 Day Viet Nam 2026 aims to bring together the knowledge\, experience and partnerships needed to turn this opportunity into practical action.
