This study examines Uzbekistan's transition from Soviet-era industry to a low-carbon economy. Despite a 51% reduction in carbon intensity, absolute CO₂ emissions rose 25.7% from 2017-2023. Renewable capacity expanded from near-zero to 1.8 G…

Hamilton, Ian, Kennard, Harry, Hsu, Shih-Che +16

The 2025/2026 Global Status Report for Buildings and Construction finds the sector accounts for 37% of global emissions and nearly 50% of material extraction, remaining off track for Paris Agreement goals. It benchmarks progress in building…
