COP31 urged to target emissions from materials
Original: COP31 must aim higher to cut emissions from the use of materials
Climate advocates and commentators are calling on the next UN climate summit, COP31, to do more to address emissions from producing and using materials such as cement, steel and plastics, which are among the hardest sectors to decarbonise. The argument, made in commentary from Climate Home News, is that current negotiations focus heavily on energy while material use has largely escaped serious commitments. Participants in the climate debate are pushing for stronger targets on the built environment and industrial materials to be placed on the summit agenda.
Why now: Attention is turning to what the next UN climate summit should prioritise, and materials emissions are being pushed as an overlooked area.
