Built Environment Wbcsd To meet the paris agreement objectives and limit global warming to 1.5˚c compared to pre industrial levels, we must halve emissions from the built environment by 2030 and fully decarbonize it by 2050. this can only be accomplished through collaboration along the whole value chain. 11 system interventions that public and private sector stakeholders must drive together if we join forces, we will see an acceleration of the decarbonization of the built environment on a global scale, within 2 3 years.
Built Environment Wbcsd 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 work on decarbonization, circularity and nature positive decarbonization focus on whole life carbon emissions and whole life costing holistic strategies and actions to achieve net zero halving construction emissions today. Cities can accelerate decarbonization in the built environment by implementing whole life carbon policies, aligning standards and methodologies, and acting as test beds for innovative approaches. Embodied decarbonization is addressed in wbcsd’s market transformation agenda,9 and from a more technical perspective in the arup wbcsd publication “net zero buildings – halving construction emissions today.”2.

The pathways to decarbonization series is a collection of insights on the challenges, opportunities, and viable decarbonization pathways for high emitting and hard to abate sectors. The built environment is at the forefront of the climate challenge, with embodied carbon from construction materials representing a significant share of global emissions. We need to urgently cut emissions from the built environment and change how we design and construct buildings to successfully respond to the climate crisis, nature loss and growing inequality. This new report, developed in collaboration with autodesk and six architecture, engineering & construction firms explores the challenges and opportunities in conducting whole life carbon (wlc).
