In Association with
Low-carbon buildings towards combating climate change and meeting the UNs sustainable development goals
6th Global summit on Climate Change
Carlos Oliveira Augusto
Lusiada University, Portugal
Keynote: J Earth Sci Clim Change
Abstract
The signing of the Paris agreement was highlight in the tackle against climate change. Buildings are responsible for around 30% of global energy consumption and the associated greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions; therefore, without shadow of a doubt, the construction sector is crucial for ensuring the target of global temperature rise stays below 2 degree. Taking action on buildings in order to achieve energy and carbon efficiency is one of the most effective ways of reducing global emissions and pollution, in accordance with circular economy`s principles. Furthermore, net-zero energy and net-zero carbon buildings (low- carbon buildings) offer significant opportunities in terms of economic, social and environmental development, matching the triple bottom line to the UN`s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This framework designed to promote Sustainable Development between 2015 and 2030 is composed of 17 Sustainable Development Goals and 169 targets under the umbrella of United Nations Global Compact. These goals are a challenge for humanity to decouple, amongst others, economic growth from climate change and low-carbon buildings (green buildings) can help to address it. Although they are interrelated, the most directly SDGs involved with green buildings issues are: Good Health and Wellbeing (Goal 3), Affordable and Clean Energy (Goal 7), Decent Work and Economic Growth (Goal 8), Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure (Goal 9), Sustainable Cities and Communities (Goal 11), Responsible Consumption and Production (Goal 12), Climate Action (Goal 13), Life on Land (Goal 15) and Partnerships for the Goals (Goal 17).Biography
