We face a certain future…
More frequent extreme weather events, water scarcity, and forest fires are accelerating demand for more efficient, resilient and healthier housing
Impacts of existing warming (1.1 Celsius) are already visible
~1.5 Celsius warming is likely locked-in, even with sharp emissions cuts
We must reduce global emissions ~45% from 2010 levels by 2030 to avoid the worst impacts of climate change
What, How & Where We Build Matters…
Construction and Building Operations generate ~40% of annual CO2 emissions, with Transportation accounting for ~27%
