About

Shift is Space Group's annual climate conference dedicated to decarbonising the built environment. The sector is both a major contributor to the climate crisis and a vital part of the solution. As the climate conversation becomes more complex, Shift continues to create space for collaboration across disciplines, strengthening the role the built environment can play in global decarbonisation.
