The average temperature in Switzerland has increased
by 2 degrees Celsius compared to pre-industrial
times – that’s twice as much as the global average. What needs to change in the construction industry to stop climate change? We need to radically transform the entire construction industry and make it circular. Right now, everything is linear. We take raw materials from nature, build something from them, and then – it’s crazy – we tear them down 20 years later and throw the materials away.
