The European Green Deal brought forward numerous policy initiatives to reduce the climate and environmental impacts of the construction ecosystem and buildings. EU Policymakers aimed to accelerate decarbonisation of buildings by revising the Construction Products Regulation (CPR) and Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD), which introduce overlapping mandatory climate requirements for product lifecycle carbon emissions and buildings’ Whole Life Carbon (WLC), both based on lifecycle Global Warming Potential (GWP) standards.
In this policy briefing, CAN Europe and the European Environmental Bureau set out to analyse the progress and shortcomings of the recent revisions for both the CPR and the EPBD and provides key recommendations for advocacy efforts regarding the overall climate policy framework for construction and buildings.
