Cities are responsible for a large share of emissions, and construction activities are a significant contributor. To accelerate the transition toward climate-neutral urban development, Oslo received expert support to explore how zero-emission construction (ZEMCON) can be scaled across European cities. The initiative aimed to assess the environmental, economic, energysystem, and regulatory implications of adopting zero-emission construction practices. The work also examined the market readiness and policy frameworks required to enable implementation at city, national, and EU levels.

This project was supported by funding from the EU Cities Mission, provided through the City Expert Support Facility (CESF) of NetZeroCities.
