The report also includes an assessment of possible implementation levels, plus technologies' challenges and costs in 2030 and 2050 scenarios. The European Cement Research Academy supported CSI with the technology paper review. In addition, a thorough stakeholder consultation pro- cess involving experts from various cement companies, researchers and international organizations, has analyzed the outputs and ensured the analysis reflects the most up-to-date knowledge. The new technology papers will be a major source of information for the global cement industry. CSI is currently working with IEA to update their joint global cement GREENBUILD 2017 The annual Greenbuild International Con- ference and Expo will take place November 8-10 at the Boston Convention & Exhibition Center. Informa Exhibitions anticipates 25,000 attendees from the commercial and residential professional, architect, building owner and operator, student and educator ranks. "Greenbuild offers a forum for the green building community to unite, change lives, revolutionize business and address pressing issues in the built environment," says U.S. Green Building Council Senior Vice President of Conferences & Events Kate Hurst. "Import- ant topics covered through this year's line up include air quality, human health, energy and water use, indoor environmental quality, land development, materials selection and reducing CO2 emissions." Greenbuild 2017 will feature keynote speakers and opening plenary; Master series and LEED workshops; exhibit hall with ground- breaking green building products and services; local green-building tours; 150-plus educa- tional sessions; and, USGBC Leadership Awards and Leadership Luncheon. Sponsor USGBC will also hold separate Communities & Affordable Homes, Waterbuild and International Summits. Also scheduled are sessions on LEED, GRESB, Parksmart, PEER, SITES, WELL, Zero Waste and Investor Confi- dence Project. — greenbuild.usgbc.org technology roadmap using these papers. Beyond quantification of the contribution of a portfolio of technologies and strategies to mitigate CO 2 emissions in the least-cost pathways, the roadmap will also identify the major opportunities, barriers and measures facing the industry, as well as financial part- ners and policy makers. "The publication of these revised and new technical papers is a major step in the implementation of commitments made by the cement sector in Paris through the Cement Low Carbon Technology Partnerships initiative. [It] demonstrates that the busi- ness is more than ever focused on supporting the implementation of the Paris Agreement," said CSI Managing Director Philippe Fonta, referencing the December 2015 accord from which the United States, per President Donald Trump, is withdrawing.
