Construction Industry: major contributor towards Energy consumption and carbon emission
Recently “2021 global status report for building and construction” has been published under the UN environment programme. Most important information of the report is that construction sector is responsible for 37% of global Carbon emissions and 36% of global energy consumption. As per the report major reason behind this trend is the lack of real transformation in the sector and this in turn contributing to dangerous climate change. Since the signing of the Paris agreement in 2015, CO2 emissions from the buildings and construction sector have increased and subsequently fallen in 2020. This current decline is due mostly to the COVID-19 pandemic, whereas transformative, long-term progress in sector decarbonizing remains limited. In 2015, the construction and operation of buildings was responsible for 38 per cent (13.1 gigatons) of global energy-related carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) emissions.
