Canada still lagging in sustainable construction: Study

AI Article Summary
A study from the Sustainable Construction Barometer reveals Canada is lagging in sustainable construction compared to global trends. Although 71% of Canadian construction stakeholders understand sustainable construction, only 22% of the general population does. The study highlights the need for increased awareness, education, and competitive sustainable materials to advance sustainable practices in Canadian construction. Stakeholders, especially those in design, are crucial for driving this transition but must address local specificities to be effective.
