This current decline is due mostly to the COVID-19 pandemic, whereas transformative, long-term progress in sector decarbonizing remains limited. However, since 2015, next to some emission reduction in the power sector, more countries have adopted policies and codes that may have a future impact on the emissions and energy efficiency of buildings.Full report is available at: https://www.unep.org/resources/report/2021-global-status-report-buildings-and-construction NO https://www.unep.org/resources/report/2021-global-status-report-buildings-and-construction DS UN Environment Document Repository RD Sep 17, 2026
