So this year’s WorldGBC Global Solutions Forum — the flagship event of our biennial Leadership Summit — will put an emphasis on finance as a critical tool to accelerate a sustainable transition in the building and construction sector.
We’re bringing together sustainability experts and built environment leaders to connect global ambitions with local action; spelling out pathways for enhanced accountability and alignment between industry, policymakers, and the finance community to achieve our 2030 decarbonisation and resiliency goals.
The Global Solutions Forum takes place on 25 June and is open to professionals working across the sustainability and building sectors. It forms the public-facing event of the WorldGBC Leadership Summit 2024 (24–27 June), a 4-day conference specifically for our network of 80+ Green Building Councils and global partners to leverage the built environment as a key solution to the climate challenge.
Our 2024 Leadership Summit and Global Solutions Forum was attended by our Green Building Councils (GBCs) and sustainability leaders from around the world.
We have 2,000 days to rise to the 2030 climate challenge. Even with the zeitgeist on our side, we have a huge gap to bridge in our sector. There is so much work to be done – but our network has shown us that they’re already leading the way.
So let’s make it count. Let’s keep #BuildingTheTransition.
Thank you to everyone who joined us at the event. From Chile to Hong Kong, we had representatives from across the network and beyond.
WorldGBC Global Solutions Forum – 2,000 days to Build the Transition
The clock for climate action is ticking!
We know that buildings represent a key solution to achieve our 2030 climate goals, being responsible for 37% of energy and process-related CO₂ emissions.
This year’s Forum will set the stage for a thrilling confluence of visions, challenging the status quo and entrenched ways of thinking.
It’s time to shift mindsets, innovate and recalibrate.
Join industry leaders, investment experts, policymakers and sustainability specialists as collectively we challenge the entrenched ways of doing business, and leveraging opportunities and incentives that deliver decarbonised and resilient built environments.
The countdown has begun!
