Architecture 2030 estimates that the embodied carbon of materials will account for 72 percent of emissions associated with new construction between now and 2030. One approach is the reuse and recycling of construction materials. By Ilana Cohen A detail by Wagon Landscaping shows an asphalt topcoat transformed into mulch.

The ambition is to set out a plan for how architecture can help to target the UN's 17 Sustainable Development Goals by 2030. This includes strict regulations on the sustainability of new architecture, energy-efficiency improvements for the city's existing buildings, and a citizen-centric approach to urban development.

On average , adapting a pre-existing structure costs 16 percent less than ground-up construction and reduces construction timelines by 18 percent. Architects can also wield financial considerations as a persuasive tool, highlighting the potential cost-effectiveness of adaptive reuse over new construction.

Net zero carbon is a popular goal and the favorite deadline for it has become 2030. For example, to 2006 when the Architecture 2030 Challenge was created and AIA then modified it as the 2030 Commitment. With only 9 years left to the magic date of 2030, great progress would have been imperative. Where do we stand today?

A popular topic of discussion within architecture and design in recent years, embodied carbon encapsulates the carbon emissions generated from the entire lifespan of a building, including manufacturing, construction, maintenance and eventual demolition. We already have probably the most advanced energy code in the country," said Leddy.

The GCCA’s stated goal of cutting emissions by one quarter in the next decade is projected based on existing technologies; however, the journey to carbon neutrality between 2030 and 2050 looks to carbon capture and storage — technologies that are very much in the development stage at present. Government regulations also deter this.
