As we kick off #CO28 today, policymakers must recognize the crucial role of the #BuiltEnvironment in tackling #ClimateChange. Its potential can address global warming, humanitarian crises, and economic uncertainties. “COP28 marks a critical moment where policymakers must revisit their commitments and set out an energy efficient, regenerative and just transition for the buildings sector, which World Green Building Council’s (WorldGBC’s) network of 75+ Green Building Councils (GBCs) are ready to help guide and implement”, says Cristina Gamboa Read Cristina Gamboa's latest thought leadership to find out how WorldGBC and our network are #BuildingTheTransition, and how you can get involved ➡ https://lnkd.in/gauvrDBf #BuildingToCOP #BuildingToCOP28 #COP28
