C40's Clean Construction Forum supports cities in driving the transition to resource-efficient, resilient and zero-emission construction. Tackling emissions from construction sites is a difficult task, but doing so can also give multiple benefits, including: lower GHG emissions, reduced local air pollution, reduced noise and a better work environment for construction workers.
C40 cities have started tackling emissions from construction activities in different ways - some have pilots introducing zero emission construction machinery, while others have introduced measures related to air quality. In this webinar we will explore the different approaches, challenges and opportunities in this area.
