United Nations plan promises massive emission cuts in the construction sector – the most polluting and toughest to decarbonise - UNEP-WCMC: Rapid urbanisation worldwide means every five days, the world adds buildings equivalent to the size of Paris, with the built environment sector already responsible for 37 per cent of global emissions. A report published today by the UN Environment Programme (UNEP) and the Yale Center for Ecosystems + Architecture (Yale CEA), under the Global Alliance for Buildings and Construction (GlobalABC), offers solutions to decarbonize the buildings and construction sector and reduce the waste it generates.https://lnkd.in/eEad7Ch8

A report published this week by UNEP and the Yale Center for Ecosystems + Architecture offers solutions to decarbonise the construction sector and reduce the waste it generates. The built environment sector is already responsible for 37% of global emissions. The report offers policymakers, manufacturers, architects, developers, engineers, builders and recyclers a three-pronged solution to reduce the negative impacts on natural ecosystems.Visit https://shorturl.at/aDGQW for a thorough read#UNEP #BuiltEnvironment #SustainableInfrastructure #SustainableBuiltEnvironment #SustainableEngineering #Decarbonisation #CSRForum #ArabiaCSRForum #Forum #PanelDiscussions #SustainabilityDiscussions #SDGs #UAEYearOf #CorporateMemberships #CorporateSponsorships #SustainabilitySponsorships #SustainableEvents #Partnerships #Collaborations #CSRTrainings #CSRWorkshops #SustainabilityTraining #SustainabilityWorkshop #SustainabilityReportingTraining #SustainabilityReporting #LeadershipTraining #NetZero #Decarbonisation

Another excellent summary of current innovation for decarbonisation of concrete by Ian Poole. Give the article a read for a very concise and well rounded summary of the current options.Well done Ian!https://bit.ly/3unvKa1
