Not just another brick in the wall: The solutions exist - Scaling them will build on progress and cut emissions fast. Global Status Report for Buildings and Construction 2024/2025 [Coming Soon]
Description
This report underscores the urgency of harmonizing building codes, scaling low-carbon materials, increasing equitable access to green financing and incentivizing circular construction. Workforce development programmes must also prioritize filling skill gaps while fostering gender diversity in green construction leadership roles. Moreover, stronger global coordination and accountability mechanisms such as the G20’s Voluntary Action Plan to double energy efficiency by 2030 are critical to accelerating progress.
