Driving change in construction and the built environment is not about waiting for others to take the lead – it\u2019s about\u00a0 stepping up, being visible and inspiring others to follow. That\u2019s where Funmbi Adeagbo, a British chartered architect, social activist and passionate advocate for diversity and sustainability in construction, believes real
\nprogress will happen<\/h2>\n

Speaking ahead of November\u2019s BE-ST Fest<\/a>, a two-day industry conference focused on net-zero carbon construction, she says that our current approach to leadership isn\u2019t going to work if we want to transform the industry, improve diversity and achieve net zero.<\/p>\n

Attendees on the first day of BE-ST Fest \u2013 the Summit \u2013 will hear Funmbi share her journey of joining the Just Transition Lobby, running for RIBA president 2024 and using her new-found platform to influence others and break down barriers in the sector.<\/p>\n

\u201cBy making yourself visible, you become an attractor to other people and that creates a catalyst for change. People start speaking up, openly supporting, and that generates the kind of momentum we need to shift the status quo,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n

Diversity and sustainability in construction is not acted upon<\/h3>\n

\u201cI\u2019m frustrated with the culture of the construction industry, where things like diversity and net zero are often talked about but not acted upon. We need to stop the performative conversations and start taking real action.\u201d<\/p>\n

Funmbi is determined to change these long-held dynamics by encouraging individuals to raise their voices.<\/p>\n

She says: \u201cDon\u2019t wait for saviours – be the saviour. When you stand up and take action, you inspire others to come along.\u201d<\/p>\n

For Funmbi, making change is all about creating a ripple effect through collaboration. This approach, she argues, is essential to addressing the climate emergency<\/a> and improving representation across the industry.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe communities that suffer the most from climate change are not the ones contributing the most to the problem,\u201d she explains.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s the same with diversity – the people who are most affected by exclusion are often the ones least able to influence the system. That\u2019s why we need to break the cycle and create opportunities for real representation.\u201d<\/p>\n

BE-ST Fest Summit<\/h3>\n

At BE-ST Fest, Funmbi will focus on how individuals can harness their power to create change, both in terms of diversity and sustainability.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe construction industry talks a lot about diversity and inclusion, but we need more action,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou don\u2019t have to be an expert to make a difference \u2013 you just need to be willing to speak up about the issues you see.\u201d<\/p>\n

This isn\u2019t just theoretical. Her own journey over the past year-and-a-half has shown how quickly things can shift when you remain persistent and focused.<\/p>\n

\u201cI went from being someone who didn\u2019t feel empowered to make a difference to someone who feels confident going into spaces and making change. It\u2019s about forcing your way into places traditionally occupied by people senior to you and not being beholden to the forces\u00a0 that control your career,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n

Funmbi Adeagbo will be sharing her insights on diversity, sustainability and leading change in the built environment at BE-ST Fest Summit, alongside other thought leaders from across the sector including Joanna Yarrow, chief impact officer at Human Nature<\/a>, and Emma Fletcher, low carbon housing director at Octopus Energy<\/a>.<\/p>\n

BE-ST Fest is the culmination of a month-long festival celebrating the sustainable built environment. It brings together hundreds of professionals from construction and the built environment to showcase best practices and highlight emerging opportunities.<\/p>\n

It takes place on 6-7 November at Paisley Town Hall. Tickets are free, book here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
