We launched a podcast to shine a light on climate crisis solutions making a real difference. In this third episode, we talk to urban specialist Tena Petrovic about the Bauhuette 4.0 project. The project aims to use home-grown timber from regional Brandenburg and Berlin forests to supply construction materials to create affordable housing from wood.

We talked about the importance of bringing together different stakeholders on a project like this, the challenges of forest mismanagement and how long-term planning will lead to Bauhuette 4.0's success - and eventual replication. Tena works with EIT Climate-KIC as a Breakthrough Initiative Developer on the Climate Smart Forest Economy Programme.

This episode was presented by Anne-Sophie Garrigou and produced by Bárbara Mendes-Jorge.
