Hosted by Volvo Construction Equipment, the Construction Climate Challenge have had research as its primary focus from the very beginning. It has been created to stimulate dialogue between industry representatives, academics and policy makers, as well as providing funding for new research and sharing existing knowledge. Through supporting and initiating research projects in areas such as Resource & Energy efficiency, Collaboration along the Value Chain, Circular Business Models and Innovation & Emerging Technologies, the initiative acted as a bridge between the construction industry and sustainability research. Here we present six research projects funded by the Construction Climate Challenge.
The CITT research project seeks to develop a tool to identify and reduce carbon in the construction supply chain. The project is a collaboration between the University of Edinburgh Business School and Costain Group and is funded by the Construction Climate Challenge (CCC) initiative hosted by Volvo Construction Equipment.

Infrastructure projects account for a large portion of the world's CO2 emissions. One way to reduce the carbon impact is to implement sustainability requirements in the procurement process. The research project Implementation of Procurement Requirements for Sustainable Collaboration in Infrastructure (Impres) aims to study how this can be done most effectively.
