SUMMARY:Keeping on track: Transforming the built environment to meet the SDGs
DESCRIPTION:Register here. \n\n\n\nJoin us for a webinar co hosted by World Green Building Council and the Global Building Network\, to explore the local action being taken around the world to decarbonise the built environment\, in line with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)\, to create a sustainable future for everyone\, everywhere. \n\n\n\nWe have reached a critical timeline. The United Nations (UN) progress report on tracking SDGs set for 2030 has shown that the current actions required to decarbonise the built environment are insufficient to meet the targets –​​ with more than 50% of SDGs being moderately\, or severely\, off-track. That’s why the UN has called on countries to unite at the Summit of the Future (22–​​23 September 2024) to develop “a rescue plan for people and planet.” \n\n\n\nWith discussion led by a range of expert speakers\, our webinar will demonstrate how the global building and construction sector can be re-imagined in order to meet the SDGs and stay on track to keep the 1.5°C Paris Agreement goal alive.  \n\n\n\nThe sector currently has a widening decarbonisation gap due to the increase in carbon-intensive building construction activities. Exacerbating the gap is vulnerability\, and lack of resilience in developing regions such as Asia and Africa\, to growing heat\, flooding\, and other associated climate and health-related stresses. To meet these challenges and secure a future where no one is left behind\, we must drive innovation\, action\, policy change and break down barriers across a sector which is a key protagonist in the solution. You can register here. \n\n\n\nAbout Global Building Network \n\n\n\nThe Global Building Network facilitates research\, education\, and evidence to action through global partnerships and network-to-network connections to accelerate decarbonization of the built environment at scale. This initiative was established in 2018 as a formal partnership between the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) and Penn State as a pillar of the UNECE High Performance Buildings Initiative to coordinate the development of a global research\, education\, and outreach consortium on high-performance buildings. Today the Global Building Network comprises 40+ global partnerships and network-to-network connections. Initiatives and programs of the Global Building Network align with multiple United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs).

SUMMARY:RICS World Built Environment Forum Week
DESCRIPTION:Decarbonising the sector and improving impacts on cities\, climate\, and overall biodiversity will transform every aspect of business\, investment\, work and life. Yet amid economic uncertainty and worsening affordability crises\, achieving this change at pace requires workable\, investable\, and business-compatible solutions. \n\n\n\nOver four days\, participants will build a picture of how standards\, policy\, investment\, data and technology are changing the landscape across energy\, infrastructure\, and the land and building life cycle. To conclude\, WBEF Week 2024 will outline a practical approach to mobilising public and investor trust in new and emerging solutions.

SUMMARY:The Four ‘Scopes’ of Social Impact: How can we action the ‘S’ in ESG across the built environment?
DESCRIPTION:Social impact within the built environment — otherwise known as the ‘S’ in environmental\, social and corporate governance (ESG) — is about the effect that buildings and infrastructure has on communities. Yet it is often overlooked or misunderstood.  \n\n\n\nThis webinar takes a deep dive into how industry can define\, address\, and measure social impact\, using a unique framework laid out in ‘scopes’ (a familiar terminology used to define greenhouse gas reductions).  \n\n\n\nThe built environment has a critical role to play in the transition to zero carbon and sustainable development\, being responsible for 37% of global carbon emissions and an employer of 7% of the entire global workforce. But the climate crisis is also a social one\, and people must be recognised as a critical part of the solution.  \n\n\n\nThat’s why last year the World Green Building Council (WorldGBC) launched a position paper — ‘Social Impact across the Built Environment’. Developed in collaboration with our global network and supported by the UN High-Level Climate Champions (HLCCs)\, the paper sets out a revolutionary framework with a clear definition of key social issues related to the building and construction life cycle\, organised for the first time into ‘scopes’. \n\n\n\nAt the webinar\, our expert panel of speakers will explore: \n\n\n\n\nThe social dimension of sustainability (the ‘S’ in ESG) and the challenges we face across the building and construction sector to address it.\n\n\n\nHow stakeholders across the sector can actively and successfully address social impact.\n\n\n\nShowcase action-oriented strategies which are creating positive social impact across the industry.\n\n\n\n\nJoin us to discover why social impact is fundamental to supporting the transition to an equitable and resilient future for everyone\, everywhere. \n\n\n\nRegister here.

SUMMARY:Taxonomies and green buildings: How far have we come?
DESCRIPTION:In this Sustainable Finance webinar co-hosted by World Green Building Council (WorldGBC) and Climate Bonds Initiative\, we will explore how different taxonomies have addressed green buildings and the impact these have had on redirecting finance towards sustainable development\, with a special emphasis on the decarbonisation of buildings.   \n\n\n\nTaxonomy is a classification system which defines sustainable economic activities. In other words\, it sets out a definition for how industry can drive investment towards sustainable projects and activities in order to meet sustainability goals. In this webinar we focus on the vital role of green buildings in achieving these objectives.  \n\n\n\nHow far have governments come in implementing their taxonomies? What is the uptake of these taxonomies across the construction and real estate sector? And what must we do to go further when there is no ‘one size fits all’ solution? \n\n\n\nJoin our webinar on 11 April 2024\, 11:00 CET\, to gain a better of understanding of:  \n\n\n\n\nThe building criteria in key taxonomies and how they are instrumental in supporting the transition to low-carbon and resilient buildings.\n\n\n\nThe challenges industry faces in implementing those taxonomies\, plus examples of local and global solutions\, that address the decarbonisation of the built environment.\n\n\n\nThe impact that taxonomies have had in redirecting finance towards green buildings to date\, including a closer look at innovative financing mechanisms and investment trends.\n\n\n\n\nRegister here.
