Statista trend report on environmental sustainability in the real estate and construction sectors
The record-high temperatures of summer 2023 issued yet another reminder about the urgency to act on climate change. The building sector not only contributes to 40 percent of the global greenhouse gas emissions, but also faces physical and transition risks. The groundwork to reduce the environmental footprint of buildings has already been laid, with efforts to improve data collection and transparency, introduce incentives and market-based instruments, and establish regulations. Though more work is needed, the first steps toward decarbonization are in progress.
This report explores some of the most noteworthy sustainability trends within the construction and real estate industry, focusing on climate action, benchmarking, sustainability in construction, and the energy efficiency of buildings.
