WorldGBC: NDCs Building Local Impact Webinar

June 24 @ 1:00 pm 2:00 pm

WorldGBC invites you to the inaugural webinar in our #BeBoldOnBuildings COP30 series: NDCs Building Local Impact.

This year’s COP30 in Belém, Brazil, will be a critical inflection point for global climate action as countries update Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs). In this webinar we will uncover the gaps and opportunities for policymakers and industry to #BeBoldOnBuildings; and officially launch our new ‘NDC Scorecard for Sustainable Buildings’ — a tool which enables governments to analyse, align and action bolder building policies ahead of COP30.

About the NDC Scorecard

Most countries’ NDCs and policies are not ambitious or detailed enough when it comes to the built environment. Whilst 81% of NDCs reference buildings, only 18% include quantified targets and just 16% outline funding strategies.

Our NDC Scorecard tool addresses these issues whilst supporting governments and key stakeholders by: highlighting the gaps, identifying action areas, supporting advocacy engagement, and preparing political actors to develop wider decarbonisation roadmaps.

Speakers

We are delighted to be joined by keynote speaker Antonio Francisco da Costa e Silva Neto, Ambassador from the Office of the Minister of Cities in Brazil, to share insights on the built environment ahead of COP30.

We will also hear from government officials and Green Building Council implementers in Brazil and the United Arab Emirates to discuss what a strong outcome for the built environment at COP30 looks like, and the role NDCs play.

  • Keynote speech from Antonio Francisco da Costa e Silva Neto, Ambassador, Chief International Advisor, Office of the Minister of Cities, Brazil
