MENA’s US$2 trillion investment in sustainable construction could boost 4.3 million jobs and cut emissions by 60%

US$2 trillion investment in sustainable construction can reduce emissions by 50-60 percent as the MENA region envisions the establishment of mega-projects in new ‘built environments’ by 2035. The findings are based on the latest research by Strategy& Middle East, part of the PwC network, and the planning, design, management and consultancy, Dar. Mega-projects like Saudi Arabia’s NEOM futuristic city and Qatar’s Lusail entertainment city will play a pivotal role towards achieving net zero emissions goals through sustainable development.
