The World's biggest Wooden Skyscraper stands in Norway | Rising 85 meters into the sky
This at a time when several European countries including the UK are reducing timber building heights after Grenfell. This Norwegian structure made significant reductions in its Co2 footprint by not using steel or concrete.
It is estimated that cement contributes about 8% of the entire carbon emissions worldwide.
