Global Status Report for Buildings and Construction 2025–2026

This report provides the latest global assessment of progress towards decarbonising the buildings and construction sector.

It tracks progress across emissions, energy efficiency, renewable energy, building codes, certification and investment, while assessing alignment with the Paris Agreement. 

Despite a decade of progress, the sector remains off track, with buildings and construction responsible for 37% of global emissions and nearly half of global material extraction.
