We’re working towards total decarbonisation of the built environment by 2050.
Our aim is that buildings are highly energy-efficient and grid-responsive, powered by electricity and/or renewable energy, and addressing whole life cycle carbon emissions.
We collaborate with Green Building Councils across the network to develop tools, programmes and resources to promote the urgency and achievability of zero carbon buildings and build industry capacity to deliver them.
Green Building Councils from around the globe are advocating for sustainable built environments for everyone, everywhere.

WorldGBC’s Whole Life Carbon Vision outlines how to reach our goal of total built environment decarbonisation by 2050.
WorldGBC’s position and guidance on offsetting residual emissions from the building and construction sector.
The building and construction sector is responsible for nearly 40% of global carbon emissions. But the sector is already showing that solutions to this issue are available and can be implemented now.
