🌍 #EDGEBuildings Country Spotlight: Egypt 🎉 We are thrilled to announce that the Grand Egyptian Museum has been awarded #EDGEAdvanced Certification from IFC - International Finance Corporation. With the crucial support from SECO Economic Cooperation and Development and the UK Government's Department for Energy Security and Net Zero, this is the first museum to achieve EDGE Advanced Certification in Africa and Middle East. This recognition underscores Egypt’s commitment to sustainability and environmental responsibility, while maintaining the legacy of respect for natural resources that runs deep in the country’s rich history. The museum's innovative design and energy-efficient features have not only earned Advanced green certification from IFC, but also set a new standard for green development in Egypt.

EDGE and IFC - International Finance Corporation were proud to partner with our friends at Asia Pacific Real Assets Association (APREA) recently to host an event and roundtable discussion on the vital importance and future of sustainability in the real estate sector. Following a presentation on IFC's flagship report on green buildings, the group had a productive discussion on how leveraging tools and technologies like EDGE, Building Resilience Index, and APEX Green Cities is essential for the decarbonization of real estate. EDGE is a significant tool that provides transparency and an authentic understanding of what green buildings are and measures the impact of efficiency features, making it a game changer in the field. The group was also able to discuss additional IFC climate tools including BRI and APEX, and how these offerings extend the opportunities in finance for real estate portfolios across all asset classes and cities worldwide. We were pleased to host the group at IFC's offices in Singapore, and look forward to more discussions in other regions.

Gender representation matters as much in the green buildings sector as it does in any other. Climate change disproportionately affects those vulnerable to poverty, including over 340 million women and girls worldwide. EDGE is proud to partner with the Green Building Council of South Africa on the Women in Green Building Competition, which aims to empower and upskill women professionals in the property and construction sectors. Finalists earn free EDGE Expert training, and the winners will travel to the Green Building Convention in South Africa hosted by GBCSA. Read about this year's finalists: https://lnkd.in/dPCwhTr3 Learn how to become an EDGE Expert: https://lnkd.in/dCWwRCXd
We need to ‘build better tables’. For Women’s Day this year, we put one question to our panel of judges on the IFC - International Finance Corporation Women in Green Building Competition: “What is missing when women are NOT at the table?” The answers were about so much more than gender inclusion. Read why we at GBCSA believe that including women, from all walks of life, at the table is not just a ‘nice to have’ or ‘doing the correct thing’; it’s vital.

With a heavy heart and profound sorrow, IFC's EDGE Green Buildings team unites to pay tribute to a remarkable soul, Dennis Papa Odenyi Quansah, whose sudden passing recently at his home in Nairobi has cast a big shadow of mourning across our family and network. Dennis was a beacon of warmth and camaraderie, and his untimely departure has left us grappling with a profound sense of loss. Dennis was far more than a colleague; he was a visionary force behind our Sub-Saharan Africa green building initiatives, driving growth and advocating for green building with a fervor that inspired us all. Known by everyone for his cheerful demeanor and unparalleled style and connectivity, Dennis seamlessly fused finance with opportunity, charting a course for progress in some of the most challenging environments. His commitment to combating climate change and his deliberate approach to making a real difference will forever be etched in our memories. As we confront this painful reality, we extend our unwavering support to Dennis's family and come together to honor a life that was a testament to excellence and impact. With heartfelt condolences to Dennis’s wife, two young children, parents, extended family and wide network of friends, and deepest respect for a life so beautifully lived.
