10 Whole Life Cycle Recommendations for the Buildings Breakthrough
The “10 Whole Life Cycle Recommendations for the Buildings Breakthrough” are consensus driven recommendations developed through extensive stakeholder engagement led by the Materials Hub (supported by the GlobalABC, One Planet Network and Life Cycle Initiative) and its two parallel working groups Whole Life Cycle Policy Coalition (WLCP.Co, led by the Department of Energy Security and Net-Zero from the UK and the WBCSD) and Circular Built Environment (CBE, led by the Ministry of the Environment of Finland and RMIT University).
The recommendations are launched with the ambition to promote circular economy strategies and Whole Life Cycle (WLC) policy thinking on a global stage, and to raise awareness on the significance of addressing Whole Life Cycle emissions in implementing the Buildings Breakthrough objectives. This should help to progress towards the Paris Agreement through near-zero emissions and resilient buildings.
The “10 Whole Life Cycle Recommendations for the Buildings Breakthrough” aim to show how Whole Life Cycle considerations underpin the Buildings Breakthrough Key Priority Actions, and to provide guidance to policy makers to implement the Buildings Breakthrough commitments nationally and locally.
