The document discusses sustainable development in the construction industry. It notes that construction activities contributed over 35% of global CO2 emissions in 1999. Achieving sustainable development requires more energy and resource efficient practices in architecture, construction, and urban planning to reduce environmental impacts. Sustainable development is defined as meeting present needs without compromising future generations' ability to meet their own needs. The construction industry must be involved to achieve sustainable development goals in societies.

1. Practice towards sustainable
development

2. In 1999, construction activities contributed over 35% of
total global CO2 emissions, more than any other industrial
activity. Mitigating and reducing the impacts contributed by
these activities is a significant challenge for urban
planners, designers, architects and the construction
industry. especially in the context of population and urban
growth, and the associated requirement for houses,
offices, shops, factories and roads
The reason behind
Sustainability

3. CO2 level since 1950 up to
date

5. Solution for this problem
• It is therefore important to encourage environmentally
sound management of urban areas through more energy
and resource efficient eco-design, architecture and
construction practices, taking into account sustainable
development objectives.

6. What is sustainable
development
Sustainable development is defined as “development that
meets the needs of the present without compromising the
ability of future generations to meet their own needs”.
In every country, the construction industry is both a major
contributor to socio-economic development and a major
user of energy and natural resources; therefore its
involvement is essential to achieve sustainable
development in our society.

8. 17 Steps to achieve new sustainable
development

9. Acknowledging climate change and
sustainability related concerns, is the
first step to reversing it.

13. Developed countries are in the position of being able to
devote greater attention to creating more sustainable
buildings by upgrading the existing building stock through
the application of new developments or the invention and
use of innovative technologies for energy and material
savings, while developing countries are more likely to
focus on social equality and economic sustainability.

14. How to achieve sustainable
development
By involving the establishment of an international agenda
on sustainable construction to help guide the
implementation of sustainable development principles in
the construction sector.

15. Requirements for
sustainable development

16. Key aspects of sustainable
construction
•Management
Related to social, legal, economic and political issues. This
is a complex and difficult area to address, due to the large
number of stakeholders involved in the building and
construction sector.

17. Key aspects of sustainable
construction
•Design
• Building activities range from development to
deconstruction, demolition and disposal, and include the
operational aspects of each component of the built
environment and each phase of the construction process

18. Requirements for progress in area of
design include
• The development of new architectural, engineering and
building concepts.
• The development, education and training of human
resources.
• Improvement in the environmental quality of
construction.
• Improvement in the energy efficiency of construction,
