2024 Global Status Report for Buildings and Construction

The Global Status Report for Buildings and Construction (Buildings-GSR) focuses on assessing the progress of the global buildings and construction sector in addressing climate change and meeting the goals of the Paris Agreement. It reviews policies, financing, technologies, and solutions within the sector and provides data and insights to motivate policymakers and stakeholders to take climate action.

The report highlights the sector's significant contribution to global greenhouse gas emissions and energy consumption, while also emphasising the growing gap between current efforts and the decarbonisation targets needed to limit global warming. It serves as a call to action for adopting sustainable practises and innovations in building design and construction.
