Abstract

As climate change accelerates, the discourse on sustainability in policymaking, urban planning, and architectural design has increasingly emphasised the circular economy, resilience, and adaptability in the building sector. Recently, the United Nations Environment Program’s (UNEP) asserted that “The construction sector is not on track to decarbonise by 2050” (UNEP 2022), effectively stating that the expected outcome of adaptation strategies and mitigation techniques will not be attained.
