Description: Join us for the launch of the Global Framework for Action on Sustainable Public Procurement (SPP) in Construction, a transformative initiative that leverages the power of public procurement to drive demand for near-zero emission and resilient buildings (NZERBs). As the construction sector already accounts for nearly 50% of global material consumption and 37% of global greenhouse gas emissions, its impact will only intensify as 50% of the buildings projected for 2050 are still yet to be built.
