Decarbonizing the built environment is key to attaining global climate goals as it represents 40% of total energy-related CO2 emissions and 40% of global resource use. WBCSD works with its member companies to help them collaborate along the full value chain to achieve their own climate targets and support decarbonization across the built environment lifecycle (material production, construction, operation, end of life) by 2050. WBCSD and its members also collectively develop definitions and measurement of what it means for the built environment to become circular, nature-positive and more equitable. Through the Market Transformation Action Agenda, WBCSD works with many stakeholders and partners in the built environment to overcome the fragmentation and provide a shared direction to drive the collective transformation.
