No more suspense! The international winners of the 2017 edition of the Green Solutions Awards have been revealed on November 15th in Bonn, during the COP23. The winning teams received their prize before professionals from across the globe in a ceremony at la Galerie by WE. Their buildings, districts or infrastructures demonstrate that building cities differently is possible.
A ceremony connected to the COP23
The competing pioneering realisations are broadly disseminated, along with their best practices, toward professional around the globe, hence contributing to build a low carbon society. This is a very concrete way to contribute to the Paris Agreement voted in the COP21.

Subtitled in 6 languages – English, French, German, Spanish, Italian and Chinese – these videos will be broadly shared on the Internet and on social media. A brochure in 5 languages will also highlight them along with the candidates awarded with a mention of the international jury.
The Construction21 international network mobilises more than 60 media partners and professional organisations in each of the country it covers and also on an international scale, by providing an online media kit accessible to all with articles, press releases, emailings, social media posts, banners and more…
Construction21 stands at the crossroads of the environmental and digital revolutions, harnessing the dissemination power of the web to promote innovative solutions invented by winning professionals in the Green Solutions Awards.
The Awards unveils trends in the sector
150 candidates from 19 countries competed in the 2017 edition of the Green Solutions Awards. After the first qualification phase, punctuated by national distinctions in September in each Construction21 country, 59 national champions were still in the race for the international finals.
The realisations rewarded by the contest constitute a source of inspiration for all professionals working in the building and city sectors. They demonstrate how to decarbonize our societies, either by using local resources in short supply chains, or reinvented traditional technics or cutting-edge technologies, or even by creating a true intelligence for the building and its systems, or by searching new sources of energies. Most of all, the awarded pioneering projects showed that they could integrate the human aspect as a central factor of their sustainability.
