In the age of climate emergency, no corner of the Earth is spared from the devastating
consequences of climate change.

With the buildings and construction sector accounting for some 40% of global energy-related carbon emissions, and with the urban proportion of the global population projected to rise from 30% to 70% by 2050, the built sector is pivotal in driving emissions reduction and transitioning towards a low-carbon future.
