Geneva, 12 November - Yesterday, leading voices from the building sector came together to call on world governments and the industry to reduce the sector’s environmental impact and accelerate its contribution to the fight against climate change by addressing embodied emissions. The organizations represented in the COP26 event: “How can construction contribute to solving the climate crisis?”, called on:
“A striking 10% of global carbon emissions are said to come from materials and construction processes, often referred to as embodied emissions*. Most of these embodied emissions are released before the building is used. Our industry has an inescapable duty to do better for the planet, for all of us, and we call upon the world’s governments to support us in doing so with regulations and building standards fit for the modern world”, said Lars Völkel, Executive Vice President Stora Enso Wood Products. Low-carbon and circular solutions for net-zero buildings, cities and states already exist in the construction industry - solutions that contribute to solving the climate crisis rather than intensifying it. We are at a tipping point in history, and the decisions we make now will impact human lives and the environment for decades to come. Hosted by Stora Enso, a provider of mass timber solutions based on CLT and LVL, the panel included:
The event was held on the COP26 Cities, Regions & Built Environment Day on 11 November 2021 from 14.30h - 15.30h GMT at the Climate Pledge Theatre as part of the Buildings Pavilion, blue zone Hall 5, and was live-streamed virtually.
