Advance climate-resilient homes to cut emissions

This case study describes an initiative by Build up Nepal to implement low-carbon, climate-resilient housing solutions in Nepal to reduce emissions and increase disaster resilience.

• Build up Nepal addresses climate risks such as extreme rainfall, rising temperatures, and fragile soils in flood-prone plains, landslide-risk hills, and drought-affected regions by training local entrepreneurs to produce interlocking eco-bricks.
• The use of interlocking eco-bricks instead of traditional fired-brick construction results in a 75% reduction in CO₂ emissions, a 90% reduction in air pollution, and a 25% decrease in construction costs, while creating homes capable of withstanding earthquakes and floods.
