Annex 89: Ways to Implement Net-zero Whole Life Carbon Buildings (2023-2027)

The project focuses on the actions necessary to implement, in public policies and in practice, buildings with zero greenhouse gas emissions throughout their entire life cycle. This means explicitly considering embodied and operational emissions at all stages of the life cycle, aiming to achieve the global (or ultimate) goal of the Paris Agreement of limiting warming to well below 2°C, and ideally to 1. 5°C, above pre-industrial levels, in order to achieve climate neutrality by 2050. In this context, policies, initiatives and actions that share, support and contribute to this objective are referred to as “compatible with the Paris objective ”.
