Decarbonizing the built environment

By taking a deeper, more comprehensive approach to understanding risk, companies can mitigate climate hazards and build resilience into the life cycle of their infrastructure and capital projects.

Three-quarters of the $9.2 trillion in infrastructure spending needed per year until 2050 will go toward new construction—offering opportunities to fight climate change by reducing embodied emissions.

Many organizations have made decarbonization commitments, but meeting those goals is a different story. Gordon Reid and Mark Williams from Scottish Water share their insights.

Rising demand for greener approaches creates an imperative for the industry to seize the moment, adopt new mindsets, and set standards for the transition to a greener future.

The net-zero transition requires a deep understanding of emissions drivers by asset class, opportunities specific to each asset, and the development and rigid execution of decarbonization options.

As economies, climate, and technologies change, so does the construction industry. Tariq Taherbhai of Aon explains today’s most pressing risks.

A net-zero project management framework aligns project performance with current trends in asset valuation and energy transition goals.
