Construction means responsibility – for people, the environment, and future generations. But what does sustainable construction look like in practice? And what role do architecture and urban development play in an age of climate change?

Signe Wenneberg, Danish journalist, author and one of the leading voices in the sustainability debate, will speak about the social dimension of sustainable construction projects at the SCHULBAU Think-Tank Copenhagen 2025 on June 3, 2025, at the Trifolium.

Climate-friendly architecture as a social responsibility

Signe Wenneberg is known for her committed approach to sustainability, building culture, and social responsibility. She advocates for a construction method that goes beyond carbon footprints and considers issues of social justice and long-term use. With her in-depth knowledge of architecture, monument preservation, and ecological construction, she advocates for projects that conserve resources while simultaneously providing genuine added value for society.

“It’s not just about building sustainably – it’s about doing it right,” explains Signe Wenneberg. She relies on transparent communication, honest materials, and planning that focuses on people’s needs. Whether urban neighborhoods or schools – for her, sustainable construction means working with existing structures instead of replacing them with new ones without asking.

From social media to the building culture debate

With over 80,000 followers on Instagram, Signe Wenneberg has created a digital platform that makes architecture and environmental awareness accessible to a broad audience. Her “little green newspaper” is both a collection of personal thoughts and a space for discussions on building culture, climate protection, and social change.

In her journalistic work and her lectures, she combines theoretical knowledge with practical examples – always with the goal of inspiring people to embrace sustainable construction. She doesn’t shy away from making her point: For her, climate protection is not an optional extra in the construction industry. It’s a necessity that must be taken seriously by all involved.

SCHOOL BUILDING Think Tank Copenhagen 2025: Sustainable Perspectives for Educational Construction

At the SCHULBAU Think Tank Copenhagen 2025, architects, urban planners, decision-makers, experts, and public and private investors will meet to discuss the future of educational construction. What responsibility do architects have in times of climate change? How can schools be built that conserve resources while simultaneously offering educational value? And what kind of building culture do we want to leave behind for future generations?

Signe Wenneberg brings her clear stance to this debate. Anyone interested in sustainable urban development and responsible architecture should not miss her lecture. One thing is clear: the future of construction begins with the question of how we build today.
