NonHazCity 3 is a European project under the framework of the EU Interreg Program for the Baltic Sea Region. The project aims to reduce hazardous substances in the construction sector and to support circular construction. A NonHazCity Building Award will be given to celebrate the most effective laws and policies for non-hazardous buildings – nominations are welcome! Deadline is the 15th June 2024.

The NonHazCity Building Award is the first policy prize recognising best policies in construction in the Baltic Sea Region at national, regional or local level.

Around 40,000-60,000 chemicals are in commerce worldwide. Many hazardous chemicals are found in the construction sector. This new Award aims to highlight policies protecting people and the environment from hazardous chemicals in buildings, integrating circularity, toxic-free & climate neutrality. The goal is to inspire citizens, decision- makers and businesses while showcasing innovative solutions.

The award is coordinated by the @worldfuturecouncil. Nominations deadline is the 15th June 2024.
