Buildings are at the heart of the energy transition. They soak up a lot of energy and spew out a lot of emissions. Improving the existing stock and making sure new builds are as green as possible is crucial to our global decarbonisation journey.
Across the continent of Africa, this challenge is playing out. New builds are the focus and policies are being developed constantly to weave sustainability factors into building codes and practices.
Mugure Njendu, Africa Programs Lead at the Global Buildings Performance network, joins the Policy Dispatch to explain why the continent has a massive opportunity to build better and not make the same mistakes European countries have made in the past.
