Our Shared Understanding: A Circular Economy in the Built Environment
Our Shared Understanding: A Circular Economy in the Built Environment
With contributions from over 100 industry leaders from more than 80 organizations, Our Shared Understanding: a Circular Economy in the Built Environment brings together the best thinking from both the circular economy and built environment communities to identify the core concepts that will guide the transition to a circular economy.
It calls for collective action to put circular principles at the heart of how we design, manage, build and use our existing buildings and infrastructure. This will have a significant impact on addressing our global systemic challenges, such as achieving net zero emissions, providing climate resilience, protecting biodiversity, and enabling social equity.
