The Global Alliance for Buildings and Construction have released their 2019 Global Status Report for Buildings and Construction.

The report underlines that dramatic improvements in the way the world’s buildings are built, designed and operated are urgently needed if the building and construction sector is to play its part in meeting international goals under the Paris Agreement.

It shows that CO2 emissions from the world’s buildings and their construction remain at around 39 per cent of total carbon dioxide emissions and calls on governments to commit to urgent and significant action to accelerate emissions reductions.
