Abstract

In climate change mitigation, the building sector is assessed by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s (IPCC). The Sixth Assessment Report (AR6) is a comprehensive assessment of the current state of knowledge on climate change, including the physical science basis, impacts, adaptation, and mitigation. The IPCC-AR6 emphasizes that the building sector is critical during 2020-2030 to avoid lock-in CO2 emissions. However, readily available, and highly cost-effective actions that can be undertaken now to reduce CO2 emissions in the building sector are identified. The sufficiency, efficiency, and renewable (SER) measures must be really designed and effectively implemented to decarbonize the building sector before 2050. The IPCC affirms that we can still secure a safe and livable future if actions are taken now.
