Green Construction Projected to Grow to AU$2 trillion by 2030
Scientists expect global temperatures to continue to rise because of human-caused greenhouse gases, according to NASA’s Vital Signs of the Planet, and more extreme and dangerous weather events will be a result.
The building and construction industry can make a substantial impact in efforts to minimise greenhouse gas emissions and cut energy consumption. The industry contributes a whopping 37% to the world’s energy-related emissions, according to United Nations.
What’s more, interest in green building – from regulators, investors and consumers – is growing. The green buildings industry is projected to grow to AU$2 trillion by 2030, a 138% increase from 2021.
