Curved arrows connect the phases in sequence and alternate above and below the circular icons, ending with an upward arrow after Phase 7. A wide arrow banner at the bottom reads Staged implementation pathway for decarbonization in construction S M E s.Illustrative staged roadmap for operationalizing priority SEPs in construction SMEs
