Construction & Real Estate | Energy Efficient Buildings | Partnership and Collaboration
The construction and building sector in India contributes 32% of total greenhouse gas emissions. WRI India, AEEE, EcoCollab, and Mahindra Lifespace Developers have launched the Decarbonisation Business Charter (DBC) to promote low-carbon practices. The charter involves key stakeholders like architects, developers, and material manufacturers, and aims to reduce raw material demand and embrace circularity in the construction industry to mitigate environmental impact.
Given that buildings contribute about 40% of all CO2 emissions, and is one of the more complex ecosystem to decarbonize, multi-stakeholder collaboration is indeed a very welcome and much needed move.
