Sustainable Construction with Hemp—Toward Net Zero 2050
The COP 28 summit demands the immediate pursuit of global climate action and the imperative transition to sustainable construction practices, particularly the aim to achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. This paper explores the significant potential of incorporating hemp-based materials in construction as a key strategy to pursue sustainable construction. Hemp emerges as a sustainable, carbon–neutral alternative with the capacity to revolutionize traditional construction methodologies. The carbon sequestration ability, low environmental impact, energy efficiency, applicability in construction applications, biodegradability, and recyclability of hemp-based materials, coupled with its support for regenerative agricultural practices, position hemp as a viable solution. As the construction industry strives for a greener future, the integration of hemp aligns with broader sustainability objectives and represents a crucial step toward achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2050.
