Addressing the housing shortage in developing nations such as India has recently become a burning socio-economic problem. Meeting these housing needs contributes significantly to the economic and social growth of such economies. However, promoting such extensive housing development programs drastically strains many natural resources, including energy, water, and land, and leads to higher pollution and carbon emissions. In this context, sustainability benchmarking gains relevance. Benchmarking refers to defining targets or reference points for performance measurement in the context of a firm, product, or process. Therefore, this study introduces a benchmarking scheme for different sustainability indicators in the affordable housing segment in India. The study brings out crucial results regarding the country-level emission targets set for India to meet Goal 13 of the SDGs which is related to climate action. |
