Implementing Mistra Carbon Exit Carbon Transition Scenarios in Construction Industry Praxis

Book chapter, 2025

In recent years, many ambitious projects have demonstrated how to reduce the embedded carbon emissions in the construction industry. However, to accelerate the carbon transition across the sector as a whole, carbon requirements need to be implemented more broadly and systematically. In the SKUNK sub-project, we have investigated how the construction industry carbon transition scenarios developed within Mistra Carbon Exit can be used as a guide for practitioners. Our aim is to explore how these long-term visions can be translated into concrete actions, tools, and procurement strategies that support a low-carbon transformation as part of everyday decision-making.
