A roundtable during COP31 on Nov. 12, 2026, made a clear argument: climate targets now reach into kitchens, roofs and land titles. The most concrete news was a United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) report that more than 20 countries had endorsed a compact to cut building energy intensity 25% by 2035. Speakers also warned that adaptation must not displace the people it is meant to protect.
