This article examines the relationship between concrete and climate change. This relationship is often discussed from a one-sided perspective. A headline such as “The impact of concrete” or “Concrete and carbon emissions” is usually captivating. However, the impact of climate change, rising temperatures on concrete, and the urgent need for adaptation strategies are less discussed. As the built environment expands, concrete production is expected to contribute significantly to carbon emissions, exacerbating the climate crisis. On the other side of the equation, this rise in global temperature may require introducing special measures for concrete production. Emerging solutions like Cyment, a volcanic tuff-based additive, demonstrate how cement replacement can reduce clinker dependence while maintaining mechanical performance. This article discusses different approaches to reducing the environmental impact of concrete and the impact of global warming on the concrete industry. By understanding the challenges of concrete production in the context of climate change, this article aims to stimulate dialogue and action towards a more sustainable and resilient built environment.
