    1. The potential for cuts in 2030 is 31 gigatons of CO2 equivalent – which isaround 52 per cent of global greenhouse gas emissions in 2023 – and 41gigatons in 2035.· Increased deployment of solar photovoltaic technologies and wind energy coulddeliver 27 per cent of this total emission reduction potential in 2030 and 38 percent in 2035.· Action on forests could deliver around 20 per cent of the potential in both years.• Other strong options include efficiency measures, electrification and fuelswitching in the buildings, transport and industry sectors.

      for - stats - 27% of the gap can be reduced by wind and solar deployment and 20% by action on forests, while efficiency, electrification, fuel switching in buildings, transport and industry sectors can also contribute - UN Emissions Gap Report 2024 - Key Messages

    1. CO2 emissions from buildings operations have reached an all-time high of around 10 GtCO2, around a 5% increase from 2020 and 2% higher than the previous peak in 2019.

      iI summary, the worldwide emissions share for the construction of buildings, including both operational emissions and embodied emissions from materials production, is estimated to be around 37% of global CO2 emissions in 2021.

    1. Die Einigung, den Entwurf des Gebäudeenergiegesetzes im Deutschen Bundestag vor der Sommerpause zu behandeln, kam vor allem dadurch zustande weil die entscheidenden Konfliktpunkte nicht beseitigt wurden. Die FDP besteht weiter darauf, eine schnelle Umstellung auf die vorhandenen Techniken zur erneuerbaren Energiegewinnung zu verhindern.

    1. Bei der italienischen Rechten gibt es heftigen Widerstand gegen die bevorstehende neue europäische Energierichtlinie für Gebäude. Sie würde dazu verpflichten, alle Gebäude relativ bald so zu renovieren, dass bis 2050 CO2-Neutralität möglich ist. Das bedeutet, dass Dreiviertel aller italienischen Immobilien erheblich ein Wert verlieren bzw. unrenoviert nicht verkauft werden dürfen.

    1. As many as 15,000 people lived in the Chaco Canyon complex in present-day New Mexico. One single building, Pueblo Bonito, stretched over two acres and rose five stories. Its 600 rooms were decorated with copper bells, turquoise decorations, and bright macaws.6

      With a population of only 15,000 people, the creation of such a massive building for that time is impressive. Especially considering the tools used at the time, as well as the building material (adobe clay). Not to mention that this was not the only building.
