#028 - Karim Elnabawy: Sustainability Isn't Optional - Why Climate Resilience is Critical

How do we build for the future without harming the planet? In this episode, we talk to Karim Elnabawy, a senior sustainability manager who's working on some of the biggest projects in Saudi Arabia. He breaks down the challenges of building in the desert and using 100% renewable energy for projects like Neom. He discusses the misconceptions about the cost of sustainable buildings, how the client is always the driver behind any sustainable movement and the responsibilities of policy makers. He also shares his real-world experiences in turning innovative concepts into practical, sustainable solutions - one of his favorite examples is Milan’s Bosco Verticale, a building that acts like a living tree.
