This document discusses several topics related to sustainability and sustainable materials in construction:
1) It references several reports and studies about sustainability, ecosystem services, climate change, sustainable development, greenhouse gas emissions, and environmental impacts.
2) It mentions mining accidents like the cyanide spill in Romania and the Aznalcóllar mining spill in Spain that caused heavy metal contamination.
3) It discusses building rating systems, energy use assessments of standards like LEED and BREEAM, and efforts to decarbonize the energy sector.
