CO₂ limits in the construction sector – an intervention justified by regulatory policy
A COâ‚‚ cap in construction as a supplement to COâ‚‚ pricing: reduce emissions, promote investment and create planning security
The construction sector is responsible for a significant portion of COâ‚‚ emissions, making it crucial to achieving climate goals. A building-specific COâ‚‚ cap, similar to those in France and Denmark, could provide clarity, encourage investments, and foster sustainable construction. This cap, which would be technology-neutral, could complement the emissions trading system and offer regulatory certainty. It would drive innovation and help meet climate targets while maintaining competitiveness in the sector.
