The report, "Building materials and the climate: Constructing a new future," by the UN Environment Programme (UNEP) and Yale Center for Ecosystems + Architecture (Yale CEA), under the Global Alliance for Buildings and Construction (GlobalABC), offers policy makers, manufacturers, architects, developers, engineers, builders and recyclers an approach to reducing “embodied carbon” emissions and the negative impacts on natural ecosystems from the production and deployment of building materials (e.g., cement, steel, aluminium, timber, biomass).
