The organisation is committed to achieving the following goals by 2050: limiting global temperature rises to 2 degrees Celsius; reducing the building and construction sector's CO2 emissions by 84 gigatonnes; and ensuring all buildings have net zero emissions.[3] These goals will ensure the buildings and construction sector plays its part in delivering on the ambition of the Paris Agreement.
