Problem:
Production of the currently preferred construction materials for the building industry is one of the largest sources of carbon emissions globally

Key message:
As buildings become increasingly energy efficient in most parts of the world, the production of the construction materials mostly used - concrete, steel and glass - become the buildings' most severe climate impact. To reduce this climate impact a rethink of the materials that go into construction is necessary.

Speakers: Søren Lütken
