“I wanted to use the power of the law to fight climate change,” says our #changemaker, Meena Kamath. Meena is Head of Built Environment at The Chancery Lane Project, which has created more than 170 climate-related clauses that lawyers can write into contracts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. She believes that deep systemic-level change can only take place if businesses and communities are brave enough to challenge the status quo and work together as part of a global community. 🧑🤝🧑 “My hope is that if we collaborate and listen to each other, we can understand that we're all affected by climate change.” 🌍 Learn more about her incredible work 👇 https://lnkd.in/eXt9ENJR #ChangemakerSeries #BuiltEnvironmentTransformation #ClimateChange #ClimateContracts

We are happy to see our support for Re:BUiLD programme with the International Rescue Committee (IRC) mentioned in the Stanford Social Innovation Review. Together, we're investing €30 million ($33.4 million) to help 20,000 refugees and host community members in Kampala and Nairobi earn additional income. By prioritizing cost-effective interventions like business grants over vocational training, the IRC has saved 30% in costs, which has enabled them to support more people to have a predictable source of income. Shifting resources to more impactful approaches for even 1% of urban displaced populations worldwide could lead to $230 million in cost-efficiency gain, potentially reaching around 200,000 more people. You can read more about it in the Stanford Social Innovation Review article. https://lnkd.in/e6aRmNuE Let's continue to innovate and improve the lives of displaced communities! #RefugeeSupport #Innovation #IKEAFoundation

📢📢 How to best tackle the environmental impact of buildings in Europe? The updated Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (#EPBD) is a landmark piece of legislation in the EU in how it aims to tackle the environmental impact of Europe’s buildings. Yet it leaves plenty of room for interpretation. Our partner the World Green Building Council, and the Europe Regional Network (ERN) have been examining different approaches in places across Europe. They have published these case studies and analysis so that other European states can learn from them, and implement the EPBD in the way that’s right for them. Read the EPBD case studies to discover how: https://bit.ly/3YsDTa7 #Buildingtransformations #BuildingTheTransition #BuildingLife #BuildingToCOP29 #energyefficiency #EPBD
Wondering how to implement the May ‘24 updates to the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) in your country? World Green Building Council and our Europe Regional Network (ERN) have been studying policy measures already in action in several areas of Europe. Our latest reports examine these approaches in detail so others can see what’s working and design their own green building policies that fulfil the requirements set out in the #EPBD. This includes places like Flanders and the Netherlands, where Minimum Energy Performance Standards (#MEPS) show signs of accelerating renovation rates. Or Sweden, Denmark, Paris and London, where buildings’ carbon impact is being assessed across the whole building life cycle. Member States have until May 2026 to transpose the provisions of the updated EPBD. Start learning how from our EPBD case studies: https://bit.ly/3YsDTa7 While you’re there, see the EPBD implementation factsheets on MEPS and life cycle Global Warming Potential (GWP). #BuildingLife #BuildingTheTransition #EPBD #ERN #BuildingToCOP #BuildingToCOP29 #WholeLifeCarbon #RenovationWave #MinimumEnergyPerformanceStandards #EUGreenDeal ÖGNI - Austrian Sustainable Building Council, Bulgarian Green Building Council (Български съвет за устойчиво развитие),Green Building Council Croatia , Czech Green Building Council, Rådet for Bæredygtigt Byggeri, DGNB German Sustainable Building Council, Dutch Green Building Council, Green Building Council Finland, Green Building Council España (GBCE), Green Building Council Italia, GBC Slovenia, Alliance HQE - GBC, Hungary Green Building Council (HuGBC), Grænni byggð - Green Building Council Iceland Irish Green Building Council, Grønn Byggallianse, PLGBC Polish Green Building Council, SBC GREECE (Sustainable Building Council Greece), Savet zelene gradnje Srbije | Serbia GBC, SGNI - Swiss Sustainable Building Council Çevre Dostu Yeşil Binalar Derneği- Turkish Green Building Council, UK Green Building Council (UKGBC), Ukrainian Green Building Council

#DidYouKnow that around 3.5 billion people lack reliable access to energy, making it difficult for them to earn an income? 💭💡 At the same time, greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuels are damaging the climate and the natural resources people depend on for their livelihoods. By accelerating the shift to #RenewableEnergy, we can tackle both problems at once: enabling people to boost their income so they can afford a better life, and reducing emissions to combat #ClimateChange and protect the planet for future generations 🌏 We’re working with our partners Sustain Plus, CLASP (Efficiency for Access Coalition) and Health Care Without Harm to give more people access to sustainable renewable energy solutions.
