CONCITO points at 18 focus areas to accelerate the green transition of the building sector
The building sector represents a large challenge for the climate, and the size of the sector is expected to increase going forward, as a growing global population will all need a roof over their heads.
The climate impact from the building sector is quite large. In Denmark, the building sector accounts for approx. 30 per cent of CO2 emissions, if you take the building process itself into account. Globally, the building sector's share of CO2 emissions is even larger.
Denmark must reduce the CO2 emissions considerably in order to comply with national, as well as international, climate targets and ambitions. In the publication The Climate Impact of the Danish Building Sector CONCITO highlights 18 focus areas. Addressing these focus areas is key in ensuring an accelerated green transition of the building sector.
