Study
This report highlights the need for new models for cooperation on the decarbonisation of building materials, if the world is to reach climate goals. It focuses on three pathways: i) AVOID extraction and production of raw materials by galvanising a circular economy; ii) SHIFT to regenerative material practices wherever possible, including by using ethically produced low carbon earth- and bio-based building materials; and iii) IMPROVE methods to decarbonise conventional materials.
