| 0:00.0 | Getting instant insights is amazing. |
| 0:03.0 | But if there are too many data points, it can be hard to see what works. |
| 0:07.0 | So I'll ask my AI assistant for recommendations. |
| 0:11.0 | And with PDF spaces in Acrobat Studio, |
| 0:14.0 | it's easy to remix documents and transform insights into standout content, |
| 0:19.0 | so you can go from idea to creation in record time, all within an AI-powered workflow. |
| 0:24.9 | Do that with Acrobat. Learn more and try it out on Adobe.com. |
| 0:30.3 | This is Climate One. I'm Greg Dalton. Together, cement and steel account for about 15% of global greenhouse gas emissions. |
| 0:39.5 | But look around our modern world, and it's hard to imagine building much of anything substantial |
| 0:44.7 | without them. |
| 0:45.9 | Carbon emissions from the build environment is still going up. |
| 0:49.0 | Buildings are more efficient, but there are more of them every year. |
| 0:53.6 | Technology exists for making lower carbon cement and steel, but at a premium price. |
| 0:59.5 | The industry really needs to stop its game. They didn't have incentives earlier to optimize |
| 1:04.2 | for carbon emissions. They were optimizing for something, and that was cost. |
| 1:08.3 | So how do we eliminate emissions from two of the world's most climate-destroying industries? |
| 1:13.2 | We have the technology to do that today, so we really need to start thinking about how we scale |
| 1:17.7 | that deployment. |
| 1:18.7 | Turning down the heat, decarbonizing cement and steel. |
| 1:22.9 | Up next on Climate One. |
| 1:26.6 | Along with aviation, the construction industry is one of the hardest sectors to decarbonize |
| 1:31.6 | in the global economy. |
