During the 8th annual meeting of the High-Level Tripartite Strategic Forum of Construction 2020, the newly established group of 46 European construction organizations, of which EDA is a member, was officially presented.
The Construction 2050 Alliance aims to gather European entities involved in construction to work together to advance the needs and priorities of the wider construction and built-environment sector at EU level.
It was created because the sustainable Europe of tomorrow cannot be achieved without all the actors involved in the construction process.
For this to happen at the EU level in Brussels, the Construction 2050 Alliance aims at coordinating common political messages of the construction value chain and raise the political importance of the sector at the European level.
The goal of the alliance is to improve the life of European citizens through construction, providing higher value with fewer natural resources, and achieving higher quality assets for owners and users.
The work-programme of the Alliance for its first two years features 6 priority areas:
- Construction: the solution to Europe’s recovery
- The contribution of the built environment to the EU Green Deal
- The human factor in construction
- Relaunching the Construction 2020 Strategy
- EU Data Strategy: a construction approach
- Developing a communication strategy for the Alliance
The main document that gathers the common vision for the Alliance is the “Construction 2050 – Building tomorrow’s Europe today”, available to download in the EDA Library.
