Why the industry needs to partner with startups to decarbonize.
How we build our cities really matters. We are currently building the equivalent of New York City every month to accommodate the world’s growing population, and we’ll be doing so for the next 40 years. The built environment accounts for 37% of global greenhouse gas emissions. A third of that—the upfront emissions—is produced at the construction phase largely from the production of building materials; the remaining emission are buildings’ operational emissions, linked mainly to heating, cooling, and powering them.
