Understanding and Engaging with the EU Policy Landscape for Natural Building Materials
Register to access resources
EU policy for natural building materials is central to achieving climate-neutral construction goals. Current regulations and initiatives aim to promote timber and other bio-based materials as part of Europe’s strategy for reducing embodied carbon and supporting circular economy principles.
The European Union has set ambitious targets for climate neutrality by 2050. Buildings account for a significant share of emissions, making material choices critical. Natural building materials such as timber, hemp, and straw offer renewable alternatives that store carbon and reduce environmental impact.
