La moitié des bâtiments qui existeront d’ici 2050 ont *déjà* été construits.

Leur réutilisation est une grande opportunité pour éviter de nouvelles émissions.

Lors du Forum mondial Bâtiments et Climat d'aujourd'hui, soyons clairs : nous devons #BuildForClimate !

The climate impact of buildings is likely to increase in the coming decades due to rapid urban growth. Preserving #ClimateHeritage is vital for a greener future. #BuildforClimate #BuildingReuseIsClimateAction

Did you know? Half of the buildings that'll stand in 2050 are already here! 🏙️Let's shift gears towards retrofitting & reusing existing buildings to hit climate targets. 📢At today's Buildings & Climate Global Forum, we call for #BuildForClimate & #BuildingReuseIsClimateAction !
