Year: 2024
Type: conference-paper
Abstract: The inaugural 'Bio & Earth-Based Materials Compendium' was presented at the COP29 UN Climate Change Conference, Baku, Azerbijan, on 19 November 2024. The presentation was made during the following conference session: 'Accelerating the Buildings Breakthrough: Tools and Solutions for Addressing Whole Life Carbon, Circularity, and Shifting to Bio-Based Materials.' The Compendium highlights natural materials used in buildings and construction that exemplify sustainable and regenerative practices, with a focus on projects that empower local and regional communities. It covers processing and manufacturing techniques, from basic to advanced, and underscores the importance of material sufficiency and low-embodied energy strategies that contribute to decarbonising the building sector. The Compendium primarily features projects composed of natural materials, and showcases examples of products for structural or non-structural building applications, or buildings.
