What a great report! In the 30 years of USGBC, it has worked to transform the built environment. This first report documents that impact. I am often told our impact starts with framing the language and leading the way to design, measure and compare performance. It continues in the almost 200,000 LEED Projects and 205,000 LEED professionals around the world. I continue to be blown away that iconic buildings everywhere and the Top Ten Supertalls in Asia are all LEED rated. This important report is the start of what I hope will become an annual way to document that progress. I hope you will read the report and continue to contribute your expertise to help write the next 30 years of our amazing movement. With LEED v5, our work is more important than ever in saving money, reducing energy waste, increasing clean energy, improving people's lives, assuring resilience, addressing equity and energy justice, and seeking solutions to carbon and climate change. Enormous impact in just 30 years - and so much more to come!

Powerful and important documentation of the value of our collective work on the economy, quality of life, and making people's lives better. Oh, and the co-benefits to the environment, resilience, health, and equity come along free - thanks to the energy cost savings, productivity improvement, and asset value increases! Hope you can read the report and contribute your stories to future versions.

Decarbonise Now for a Sustainable Future! We all know we're in a climate emergency, and the built environment plays a big part in it 🌍. As we push towards achieving net zero and making our cities more resilient, decarbonisation must be at the heart of our decision-making. At the recent RICS conference in Northern Ireland, the focus was on sustainability and how professionals in the built environment can work together to address the sector's challenges. We heard many success stories, but it's clear there's more we can do. Gathering for these discussions helps us tackle industry issues collectively, and build a sustainable future. According to the latest RICS Global Sustainability Report, around 60% of UK respondents saw a rise in investor demand for green buildings over the past year 📈. Despite this, 43% globally reported they don't measure embodied carbon on projects. We must make carbon measurement common practice. Tools like RICS' Whole Life Carbon Assessment (WLCA) guide the industry toward lower carbon designs and help quantify construction impacts. By understanding and managing our emissions better, we can build more sustainable communities. Let's drive change together! How do you think we can further integrate decarbonisation into our daily practices? Share your thoughts below or visit netzeroevolution.com to learn more. #Decarbonisation #Sustainability #NetZero
