Four leading mayors are initial signatories to the C40 Clean Construction Declaration, pledging to work with industry to halve emissions from construction projects in their cities by 2030
Construction is responsible for 23% of the world's GHG emissions
London, UK (24 November 2020) – Today, the mayors of Oslo, Los Angeles, Mexico City and Budapest have pledged to halve emissions from all construction activities in their cities by 2030, in collaboration with leading companies and innovative business communities.Through the targets in C40's Clean Construction Declaration, mayors pledge to revolutionise the global construction industry and shift it towards a more sustainable future, to achieve "a thriving, resilient and healthy life for everyone in our cities, especially our most vulnerable communities."
The construction industry in its current form is responsible for more than 23% of the world's GHG emissions and 30% of global resource consumption.
Le Corbusier has stated his design intentions/criteria in the case of the High Court as follows:
"The High-Court palace completed since 1955 contains eight law-courts of 8m x 12m, the High-Court itself being of 12m formed of two obliques from the top towards the ground. The two obliques are raised towards the exterior, inclined towards the middle, forming in this way a turned-up umbrella over the justice-courts that are kept in the shade.
