What exactly is our EU Building Policy Tracker and what does it do? 📈 Our Policy Tracker can be used to take stock of the progress made by the European Commission to facilitate the full #decarbonisation of the EU’s #builtenvironment by 2050. 🔎 The Policy Tracker identifies gaps and areas for further action to ensure that the EU’s building stock is addressed and in line with its #climategoals. The progress made will be tracked against recommendations for EU policymakers outlined in our ‘EU Policy Whole Life Carbon Roadmap’.

🌍 Africa is home to more than 16% of the world’s population, and this is set to rise exponentially. So how can we make sure our cities are fit for the future? In 2022, WorldGBC’s Africa Regional Network of Green Building Councils (GBCs) collaborated to develop the ‘Africa Manifesto for Sustainable Cities and the Built Environment’ to drive change in the region. Fast forward two years and African GBCs are collaborating again and continuing to drive change. Green Building Council Nigeria (GBC Nigeria) and Egypt Green Building Council (Egypt GBC) are participating in a programme to help develop their country’s climate action plans using our #NDC Scorecard. 🇳🇬 GBC Nigeria hosted its second workshop in November to meet with industry stakeholders, gather insights, analyse the results, and refine them for use by creating an NDC Scorecard. 🇪🇬 Egypt GBC hosted its first conference from 9—10 December which was attended by more than 200 participants from various built environment stakeholder groups in the region with a specific panel on the NDC Scorecard project. WorldGBC’s NDC Scorecard tool will allow policymakers to review their country’s NDC and reveal where further action is necessary on the built environment.

Dr. S. Carolina Montano Owen, Technical Lead for Sustainable Buildings at World Green Building Council (WorldGBC) joins the Think.Future podcast on 18 December to discuss key highlights from COP 29, provide an update on the Buildings Breakthrough Initiative and progress in the circular economy of buildings. Join in to hear Carolina share the World GBC strategy for 2025, challenging the sector to be bold in transforming the future of buildings. #BeBoldOnBuildings #BuildingTheTransition #BuildingLife #ThinkFuture #BuildBetterWorld

Do you know what the buzz is around #decarbonisation, policy,  finance and #circularity in sustainable building for 2025? Over the last two days, we’ve hosted webinars for our partners to discuss the 2025 global trends. Here are some highlights: 🗾 Zero Carbon & Climate Resilience Roadmaps: National decarbonisation roadmaps can be used as a tool to coordinate action across the value chain and between industry and policymakers. 🏛️ Whole Life Carbon Policy: Europe has a clear trajectory towards implementing policy that will regulate carbon emissions across the whole building life cycle. Now that the #COP29 official text references the need to curb embodied carbon emissions,  WorldGBC believes this trend will expand to other regions. ♻️ Circularity is going mainstream in the #builtenvironment with start-ups and multinationals delivering products and services that support closing the loop on materials. WorldGBC is collaborating with the @Circular Buildings Coalition and supporting pioneering Blueprint Projects tackling specific barriers to increased uptake of circular approaches. 💰 #SustainableFinance is a hot topic due to the Green Taxonomies and the recent commitment at #COP29 to a New Collective Quantified Goal of financing $300 billion. In the built environment we’re seeing signals of a shift away from proliferation towards convergence. WorldGBC is supporting this shift with guidance and resources like our ESG Factsheet. Are you ready to #BeBoldOnBuildings in 2025 and beyond? Join us: https://lnkd.in/dCDMNfiz #BuildingTheTransition #BuildingToCOP #BuildingToCOP30

Are EU policies on track to achieve their climate goals of fully decarbonised buildings by 2050? Use our new interactive tool to take stock of progress. Our EU Building Policy Tracker provides an at-a-glance view of the policies in place, what’s on track, and where further action is needed to address the environmental impact of buildings and deliver on the EU’s climate targets. These are arranged across four key policy areas: 🏗️ Building regulations ♻️ Waste and circularity 💰Sustainable finance 🌳 Sustainable procurement The tracker, which will be regularly updated, monitors the EU’s progress against the recommendations set out in our EU Policy Whole Life Carbon Roadmap, launched in 2022. View the tracker here: https://lnkd.in/d9uzWTkb What does the tracker show? The revision of building regulations such as the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) stands out as a positive development including measures such as Minimum Energy Performance Standards and Whole Life Carbon provisions.  Much remains to be addressed for waste and circularity, but the revision of the Construction Products Regulation will drive greater transparency and data availability on products' environmental impacts. The EU also has further work to do on sustainable finance and procurement policy. We will assess how future updates to the EU Taxonomy, Procurement Directive, and Green Public Procurement address the impact of the built environment. The tracker has been developed alongside the Europe Regional Network of Green Building Councils as part of the #BuildingLife project.
