Webinar: Buildings and the clean energy transition
2026-03-12 13:00 - 14:00 UTC | Online
In the words of UN Secretary-General António Guterres, “we are in the dawn of a new energy era” and “the energy transition is unstoppable.” The shift to clean energy isn’t just necessary, it is already underway.

Buildings sit at the heart of this transition. The operation of buildings alone accounts for 26% of global emissions making the sector critical for climate action. Through electrification, improved energy efficiency and the integration of renewables, buildings can play a critical role in driving a rapid transition away from fossil fuels.

In this webinar, we will hear from leading industry voices on the role of buildings in this transition and what actions are needed to unlock progress at scale.

We will briefly outline the World Green Building Council’s new position paper, ‘Powering the Transition: Building Electrification’, that provides an overview of the rationale, methods and benefits of removing fossil fuels from our built assets.
