Tackling climate change
Our sector has a huge role to play in tackling climate change and target a carbon neutral way of life. The UK’s Construction Leadership Council operates the UK’s Green Construction Board whose mission is to reduce carbon, waste and other impacts from the Built Environment, as energy from fossil fuels consumed in the construction and operation of buildings accounts for approximately half of the UK’s emissions of carbon dioxide.
