The relationship between the climate and all the lifeforms on the Earth has always been in a delicate balance. Climate change’s impacts on the Earth have demonstrated a rapid increase with the rise of greenhouse gas emissions due to the industrialization and other anthropogenic activities since the industrial revolution and became evident in the last decade of the 21st century. The building sector is attributed to a considerably large share of greenhouse gas emissions which leads to increasing scientific and non-scientific interest in the building sector’s mitigation potential for climate change. The doctoral student explains the concept, causes and consequences of climate change, discusses the link between climate change and the building sector through the reciprocal environmental impacts over the life cycle phases, and concludes with the importance of building sector stakeholders towards circularity in the link between climate change and the building sector.
