Decarbonizing the buildings and construction sector is critical to achieving the emission cuts required by the Paris Agreement and addressing the triple planetary crisis of climate change, biodiversity loss and pollution. However, the sector remains off track to achieve decarbonization by 2050, and the gap between its actual climate performance and the necessary decarbonization pathway is widening.
This report provides detailed guidance for setting goals, identifying key actions and creating a pathway towards a more efficient, low-carbon, resilient and inclusive buildings and construction sector.
Designed to unite stakeholders across the value chain, the step-by-step guide fosters a common vision and sets the stage for the systemic changes needed to achieve zero-emission, efficient and resilient buildings and construction.
