Coordinating stakeholders along the construction value chain toward sustainability

Abstract

Construction—of homes, business spaces, infrastructure—is the symbol of development. However, the construction sector often lacks environmental sustainability and is responsible for considerable material and greenhouse gas footprints along the value chain. A sustainable transformation is urgently needed, requiring action and coordination across stakeholders and throughout the value chain. This Voices asks: what barriers must be overcome across the value chain to shape a sustainable construction sector?
