SUMMARY:World Sustainable Development Summit
DESCRIPTION:The world is off track. According to the latest progress report on sustainable development goals\, of the 169 targets\, only 14% are on track\, while 20% are not even tracked. Disturbingly\, 14% show regression\, including critical areas like hunger\, education\, employment\, and the environment. The first global stocktake highlights the urgency\, showing that to meet temperature targets\, emissions must drop by 43% by 2030\, but current national commitments only achieve a 2% cut—pointing to gaps in both action and data. \n\n\n\nAcceleration on sustainable development and climate solutions is clearly needed\, for which partnerships are key. The upcoming edition of the World Sustainable Development Summit (WSDS) will be held under the theme ‘Partnerships for Accelerating Sustainable Development and Climate Solutions’ from 5th to 7th March 2025.

SUMMARY:Green returns: the state of sustainability ROI in 2025
DESCRIPTION:Capital outlay on sustainable development\, acquisition of high-performance buildings\, or retrofit efficiency improvement for existing assets has always required a careful assessment of return on investment. Returns often need to be totted up both in direct financial terms and in carbon savings delivered against capital employed – given that even the most environmentally conscious building owners and investors must typically weigh up competing options. \n\n\n\nThis panel debate will assess how investment decision-making priorities have changed over recent years\, as both technology and business thinking have matured\, and where things might head in the foreseeable future. It will assess the role of green-linked funding\, tax breaks and grant schemes for the property sector\, and the potential penalties and pitfalls presented by regulation and loss of asset value looming in the future.

SUMMARY:Climate and Clean Air Conference 2025
DESCRIPTION:The Climate and Clean Air Conference 2025 is set to take place from March 16–21\, 2025\, in Brasília\, Brazil.   \n\n\n\nThis year’s theme\, “Accelerating Action on Super Pollutants: The Road to COP30\,” highlights the urgent need for decisive action. The event will bring together country representatives\, global experts\, and changemakers\, united with over 180 partners\, to drive accelerated solutions for mitigating super pollutants and safeguarding our planet’s future. \n\n\n\nThis year\, our focus will be on advancing NDCs 3.0 commitments as investment plans\, convening a Science-Policy Dialogue on Super Pollutants\, and exploring gender equity as a catalyst for climate action. We will also examine sectoral policies that drive emissions reductions. By sharing real-world experiences and demonstrating leadership—whether as GMP and Clean Air champion countries or by leading sectoral or regional initiatives—we aim to deliver a powerful message at COP30. \n\n\n\nParticipants will engage in high-level dialogues with country representatives\, leading scientists\, and civil society leaders to shape the future of climate and clean air policy\, with a strong emphasis on a just transition. Through breakout discussions on scientific assessments\, practical solutions\, and best practices within the CCAC’s six sectoral Hubs\, they will collaborate with peers and partners to drive transformative action and lasting impact.

SUMMARY:Sustainability Summit 2025
DESCRIPTION:Sustainability Summit 2025 – Building Sustainability Together\, 18.3.2025 Helsinki \n\n\n\nThe Sustainability Summit 2025 event brings together experts from the real estate and construction sectors for a joint forum on responsibility and sustainable development. At the event\, we will delve into the themes of responsibility in the light of solutions and consider how climate work done in Finland is positioned in relation to the other Nordic countries. \n\n\n\nThe themes of responsibility and sustainable development have become increasingly close to everyday work\, and expanding reporting requirements and the regulation guiding operations place their own demands on companies’ operations. The requirements of our operating environment around the theme are becoming tougher\, and innovations and proven operating models set an example for other actors. When creating an increasingly sustainable business\, we must act as a common front\, sharing knowledge and skills. \n\n\n\nIn the program of the Sustainability Summit event\, we highlight concrete solutions from the perspectives of different actors in the KiRa industry and aim to talk directly. As the main organisers\, Kiinko and Green Building Council Finland want to create a discussion platform for the themes of responsibility and sustainable development\, and together with our partners\, we invite experts in the KiRa field to hear the latest steps taken in the field.
