Global Building Emissions Tick Up as Urbanization Accelerates


The report, now in its 10th edition, points to other persistent difficulties in decarbonizing a sector responsible for a large share of the world’s emissions. Buildings generate climate pollution through heating, cooling and lighting, and the materials used to construct them also have a significant carbon footprint. Cement, steel and aluminum in buildings accounted for about 9% of global greenhouse gas emissions in 2024, according to International Energy Agency estimates cited in the report.
