Given its immense ecological footprint and impact on human wellbeing, the built environment is a key leverage point in achieving the goals put forward in the Paris Agreement as well as many other sustainability objectives.

Together we are leading the way to a circular built environment.

Blueprints for tomorrow: Shaping Europe’s built environment with circular construction

Following our Open Call, ten Blueprint Projects were selected based on their public value, transition alignment, feasibility, organisation-solution fit, uniqueness and impact. The Circular Buildings Coalition has collaborated with these projects to advance its objective of accelerating the transition towards a circular economy in the built environment. We are proud to announce that these projects have produced and published whitepapers, which will further contribute to their impact and knowledge sharing.

Four circular building pathways towards 2050

The construction sector in the EU is a major contributor to carbon emissions and waste generation, with unsustainable practices pushing the sector past critical global warming limits. However, applying circular economy principles through a 'Circular Building Scenario' alongside industry decarbonisation has the potential to significantly reduce the sector's CO2e emissions by 4.15 Gt, keeping the 2°C global warming scenario within reach, and reducing material consumption by 6.7 Gt between 2024-2050.
