The built environment is a major emitter of carbon emissions within the UK. 25% of UK CO2 emissions are directly controlled by the built environment sector, and it influences 42% of all UK CO2 emissions.
We are already feeling the effects of a warming planet, 2023 saw for the first time in history the global average temperature increase of over 1.5° vs pre industrial levels and with it an increased chance of extreme weather events, retreating glaciers, and reduction in food and water security. Without immediate carbon reductions, it is “very likely” we will likely exceed 2°C warming by 2100.
