The floor area of zero-carbon-ready buildings amounted to approximately 90 million square meters worldwide in 2021. However, to meet the net zero by 2050 goals, the area occupied by that type of building needs to reach over five billion square meters by 2030. Meanwhile, the construction of other new buildings needs to significantly decrease during the coming years.
