Rapid urbanization and industrialization in the 20th and 21st centuries have contributed significantly to climate change. The floor space of global construction is predicted to double over the coming decades, and currently, investment in green, sustainable construction is severely lacking. Buildings, both in the construction and operational phases of their lifecycles, account for nearly 40% of global…
A rather extraordinary thing happened in Nairobi which was that there was a voluntary market auction of carbon credits, the vast majority from Africa, in which the buyers were some 15 Saudi companies, including Aramco, and the national airline Saudia – all looking for offsets as part of their decarbonisation strategies. 2.2m credits were sold…
