Decarbonizing buildings across their entire life cycle calls for the transformation of the buildings and construction sector. The transformation requires greater collaboration among policymakers at all jurisdictional levels as well as with urban planners, architects, developers, investors, construction companies, and utility companies. This roadmap prepared jointly by the GlobalABC, IEA, and UNEP supports a common language for the life-cycle decarbonization of buildings and the development of national or subnational strategies and policies. It outlines the actions that policymakers and stakeholders can take in the short, medium and long term to achieve a built environment that is zero-emission, efficient and sustainable.
