NO The efficiency of the management of resources in attendance to climate change is a key issue for the articulation of climate agendas, sustainable production and consumption, industrial environmental regulation and initiatives to improve the performance of cities and promotion of sustainable buildings from a circular economy approach. Technical Guidelines represent Resource Efficiency and Climate Change: Material Efficiency Strategies for a Low Carbon Future in Construction Sector in Mexico, provide guiding elements to advance more decisively and synergistic towards the consolidation of a comprehensive environmental policy facing the global and local challenges of development, by influencing several sustainable development objectives adopted by Mexico and where the construction and building sector, together with the cement and steel industry, have a key role in helping to decouple economic growth from environmental degradation, increase resource efficiency and promote sustainable lifestyles.
