- Construction is responsible for 10 to 20 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions, prompting calls for a complete overhaul in building practices to maintain global temperatures below 2°C. Efficient design and sustainable materials are essential to mitigate the climate impact of urban development.
- The shift towards more sustainable construction methods is crucial as urbanization continues to rise, with 81 percent of the global population now living in urban areas. This transition could significantly reduce emissions and promote healthier living environments.
- The urgency for climate action is underscored by alarming trends such as irreversible Arctic warming and the projected loss of glaciers, highlighting the critical need for immediate and effective responses to prevent further environmental degradation and societal collapse.
