Bringing in ethics: A multi-stakeholder approach to manage the transition to low-carbon construction

To achieve the recommendation stated in the title, we propose the following: Policymakers should organise fair and balanced stakeholder engagement processes to address the key ethical trade-offs of the transition to low-carbon construction. The public sector should take a proactive role in leading the low-carbon transition and build strong cross-sectoral partnerships. Public sector leadership demands transparency and accountability which are crucial for navigating ethical trade-offs with the various stakeholders in the construction sector. Policymakers should build a culture of sustainability and cultivate a shared understanding of ethics and values among all stakeholders. To find creative solutions to the complex challenges associated with the transitionto low-carbon construction, SSH and STEM collaboration should be supported.
