	By the middle of the decade, two significant and somewhat successful international events took place, the first being the Paris Agreement (COP21 2015), in which, after yearly COP events, countries representing 98% of global emissions signed a legally binding agreement to reduce emissions and work together on climate adaptation; these included the US, Canada, and China. The agreement was essentially contracted at the governance level to keep global warming to no more than 1.5°C, meaning global emissions needed to be reduced by 45% by 2030 in order to reach net zero by 2050.

	A year later, the much-publicised follow-up to the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), were launched. 17 goals, with a somewhat more specific 169 targets that all 191 UN Member States agreed to try to achieve by the year 2030. The 17 goals are: no poverty (SDG 1), zero hunger (SDG 2), good health and well-being (SDG 3), quality education (SDG 4), gender equality (SDG 5), clean water and sanitation (SDG 6), affordable and clean energy (SDG 7), decent work and economic growth (SDG 8), industry, innovation, and infrastructure (SDG 9), reduced inequalities (SDG 10), sustainable cities and communities (SDG 11), responsible consumption and production (SDG 12), climate action (SDG 13), life below water (SDG 14), life on land (SDG 15), peace, justice, and strong institutions (SDG 16), and partnerships for the goals (SDG 17). Of these goals, those most relevant to construction included the SDGs 3, 6, 7, 8, 10, 11, 12, 13, 15, and 17 and were somewhat all-encompassing, with a raft of associated key performance indicators.

−	Is still being written...	+	In 2023, the UN published further details on its agenda 2030 'Transforming our world: the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development', a series of measurable targets and goals relating to people, planet and prosperity that should be achieved by 2030. Indeed the period up to 2030 is considered to be now one of the most significant in terms of climate change and essentially the last opportunity to slow down what many consider the likely effects of runaway global warming. The impacts of actions during this decade are in effect still being written.
		+
		+	A variety of concepts, regulations and standards have been developed in various countries, though the impact of these and how they lead towards more sustainable development by 2030 remains to be seen. Sustainable development concepts that are likely to become increasingly significant in the UK, Europe and globally in order to achieve the global goals. Some examples of sustainability related concepts developed and implemented during this time are: The UK Biodiversity net gain policy, the EU Taxonomy regulation in 2021, the corporate sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) (2021), and the sustainability reporting standards (ESRS) (2023) to name a few.
