Abstract
The built environment is hard to decarbonize but has a pivotal role in climate-change mitigation amid rapid urbanization. Substituting conventional building materials with bio-based materials that store carbon offers one possible solution. Here, we reflect on the capacity of global forests to deliver the floor area required by mid-century.
