Overview of portfolio of mitigation options and possible policy mix for the construction supply chain

In this session we consider three examples of specific options that have the highest mitigation potential in the construction value chain (e.g., product design, material substitution, recyclability). We briefly characterize how does each of the mitigation options look like and we ask what is needed to unlock the mitigation potential, for example what is the role and relevance of i) the price of the material; ii) standards (e.g., construction requirements); iii) learning by doing; iv) capacity building; v) other?

Conclusion: How to align the instruments with the mitigation options?

• What are synergies between instruments?
• What is missing?
• What is the role of EU vs national level in regulation?
