Advancing Whole-Life Carbon Policy – Targeting Embodied Emissions in the Building Sector
Kapitel i bok, 2025
Sweden is a frontrunner in addressing Whole-Life Carbon (WLC) emissions from buildings. However, policy gaps remain at both the national and European Union (EU) levels. Key actions for decarbonising the built environment include: setting ambitious limits for new construction; introducing climate declarations for renovations; valuing more effectively the existing building stock; and fostering demand for low-carbon materials. These measures could be implemented or strengthened through existing policies.
