The new IRENA's report reveals that a fundamental transformation is needed in how we design, construct, and rehabilitate buildings. It calls for urgent and coordinated action to meet climate goals and accelerate the transition to a more sustainable built environment.

With heightened awareness, strong public support, and industry-wide efforts, the construction sector is accelerating its transition towards sustainability, as highlighted in the recent barometer developed by Saint-Gobain.

The Sector Study is a biennial survey commissioned by the Architects’ Council of Europe (ACE) and co-funded by the Creative Europe Programme of the European Union, that collects and analyses statistical, sociological and economic data on European architects, the architectural market and architectural practices.
