Hans Joachim Schellnhuber
shares his ideas for climate change transformation
The timber construction industry plays a pivotal role in combating climate change. During his lecture on March 19, 2024, at WIEHAG, esteemed climate researcher Prof. Dr. Hans Joachim Schellnhuber emphasized the crucial role of timber construction in addressing climate change.
The construction industry and building energy consumption contribute significantly to global CO2 emissions. Timber as a building material can counteract this trend, as trees absorb CO2 during growth, which remains sequestered in durable building structures. Worldwide, investors are seeking alternative ways to significantly reduce the carbon footprint of their investments. WIEHAG plays a crucial role in this endeavor.
