Building a decarbonization culture into India’s construction industry

For India, where construction output has almost doubled in the past 13 years and CO2 emissions* have increased by 1.8 times, there is a fundamental challenge in finding climate mitigation solutions that do not constrain growth.

Could a greener construction industry focused on reducing embodied carbon emissions be the basis for turning that trend around?

In this whitepaper, Linesight and RICS explores the challenge of decarbonization, the value of adopting a whole-of-life approach to builds, and how India’s construction industry can potentially emerge as a global sustainability leader.
