Full Description
Mitigating the climate crises requires a fundamental transformation of all sectors, including the building sector. Market forces alone won´t solve the problems. We need governments to take the lead and set targets for achieving net-zero emissions. Luckily the building sector is well on the way, with ambitious targets to reach a net-zero emissions buildings goal by 2045. Businesses are the ones that need to provide scalable solutions which can succeed in shaping a sustainable build environment. Effective partnerships between actors will contribute to meeting the demand of the building sector and ensure that we deliver projects, products and services which contribute to customers, communities, and a sustainable world.
