Livia Tirone - Tirone Nunes - Sustainable Construction
The document discusses the challenges facing cities and the construction sector in becoming more sustainable. It notes that 50% of the world's population lives in cities, which consume 40% of the world's energy, produce a large amount of waste, and deplete natural resources. The construction sector accounts for 50% of all material taken from the earth's crust. It emphasizes that the majority of a building's environmental impact occurs during its operation, not its construction. It argues that all actors in the construction sector must work together using an integrated approach to mainstream sustainable practices and reduce environmental impacts.
