Advance climate-resilient homes to cut emissions

Build up Nepal addresses climate vulnerabilities in flood-prone and landslide-risk areas by replacing traditional fired-brick construction with low-carbon, interlocking eco-bricks. This approach reduces CO₂ emissions by 75%, construction costs by 25%, and air pollution by 90% while improving homes' resistance to floods and earthquakes.

• Build up Nepal's use of interlocking eco-bricks provides significant environmental and economic benefits compared to traditional fired-brick construction, specifically reducing CO₂ emissions by 75%, construction costs by 25%, and air pollution by 90%.
• The initiative targets regions prone to extreme rainfall, rising temperatures, and fragile soils, producing housing designed to withstand earthquakes and floods to protect communities and livelihoods.
