Abstract
Enabling sustainable growth is highly dependent on the ability of private capital to invest in projects capable of achieving sustainability objectives divided into the three economic, environmental and social components. The international financial system has defined criteria for assessing the sustainability of investments, also applicable in the construction sector. Still, these criteria do not always appear integrated with the sustainability assessment systems developed by the AEC (architecture, engineering and construction) industry. This article proposes reflections on the relationships between the sustainability indicators of sustainable finance and those typically used in the AEC industry with the purpose of identifying possible impacts on the disciplines involved in the design process.
Highlights
The adoption of the Paris agreements on climate change and the contextual definition of the UN 2030 Agenda and its Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) will influence the sustainable development of the planet and its economy in the coming years
The role of the financial system is fundamental to provide the resources necessary to achieve the objectives defined by the policies for climate change and sustainable development: the required investments are valued at 6.9 trillion dollars per year until 2030, i.e. double the current investment level (OECD, 2020; OECD, 2017)
The construction industry, which receives a large part of the capital investments, must be able to interpret these criteria, translate them and make them verifiable in the context of each project
Summary
The adoption of the Paris agreements on climate change and the contextual definition of the UN 2030 Agenda and its Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) will influence the sustainable development of the planet and its economy in the coming years. La frammentazione e la eterogeneità dei GBR è assimilabile a quella che è stata rilevata nel reporting ESG e, anche per questo fenomeno, vi sono iniziative a livello internazionale, per armonizzare i criteri di valutazione come, ad esempio: - la norma internazionale ISO 21929-1:2011 “Sustainability in building construction – Sustainability indicators – Part 1” che nelle premesse per lo sviluppo sostenibile degli edifici include i miglioramenti degli aspetti economici e sociali (e culturali) a livello locale, regionale e globale (Liang et al, 2021); - il quadro europeo Level(s) di indicatori di sostenibilità per gli edifici, che si è posto l’obiettivo di fornire una struttura ability, namely the economic and social aspects. – will need to be investigated prospectively, with regard to the relationship between design and construction process (sustainable supply chain)
