With just under 2,000 days remaining to achieve the 2030 climate goals set by the World Green Building Council, our industry’s next steps in #BuildingtheTransition will be crucial in shaping the future. At the recent World Green Building Council Leadership Summit held at Sidara’s London Headquarters, 150 Holborn, 52 Green Building Councils and numerous built environment leaders from around the world convened to share ideas and create tangible impacts from the WGBC's strategy, which will bring us a step closer to the goals we're set to reach over the next six years. 37% of the world's emissions come from the built environment. Removing, or even significantly reducing this, will be no small feat to accomplish. As a host venue for the summit and active member, we recognize that our greatest opportunity to have a positive impact on the planet and in our communities is through the projects we touch. From large-scale solar farms in West Africa that dramatically reduce emissions to improving biodiversity at the first-ever on-site apiary at one of America's busiest airports, we are committed to delivering solutions that reduce emissions, protect biodiversity, and safeguard the place we all call home.

As cities expand, it has become crucial that we bolster our ties with nature and promote greening of urban spaces.🌆🌿 Effective planning is needed to ensure that the aims of the Sustainable Development Goal 11 (make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable) as well as Target 12 of the Kunming - Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework commitments to enhance urban green and blue spaces are both achieved. However, there is a lack of a well-equipped financial structure to support sustainable urban development. Current approaches to the financing of urban planning needs to change and multiple values of nature will need to be incorporated into urban decision making. As we observe #WorldCitiesDay 🌆, our experts shed some light on how we can unlock investment for sustainable urban planning and live in harmony with nature ➡️ https://lnkd.in/eBwfehvh

Click the link below to learn more about how #LEED for Cities aligns with the #SDGs. The rating system update, released in July, provides concrete actions for local governments to advance the United Nations' #SDGs.
World leaders convene in New York City this week for the 78th session of the United Nations General Assembly. This year serves as the halfway point to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) target year of 2030, and it is anticipated that ushering in a new phase of accelerated and transformative action will be the focus. To support local leaders and advance implementation of the #SDGs, we have updated our USGBC report, "Tracking Progress on Global Goals," to reflect newly adopted improvements to the #LEED for Cities and Communities rating system. With updates released this summer, the rating system advances critical content areas, including #biodiversity, #heatmitigation, #publichealth, #economicdevelopment, #locationefficiency, #pedestrian and #bicycle #safety, #mobility policies, responsible #procurement, #netzero, #carbonneutrality and more. Check out the alignment report and reach out with any questions! https://lnkd.in/dWDffHfW U.S. Green Building Council ICLEI USA ICLEI WBCSD – World Business Council for Sustainable Development Sustainable Development Solutions Network #climateweeknyc #sdgsummit2023

“It’s time to action the ‘S’ in ESG”. Today, we join World Green Building Council and their global network of Green Building Councils, partners and expert reviewers in launching a new publication ‘Social Impact across the Built Environment’. Why do we measure and account for carbon emissions through Scopes, considering ‘1’, ‘2’ and ‘3’–but we don't consider the social impacts of the built environment upon people in the same way?The built environment is responsible for 37% of global carbon emissions, representing a huge sectoral contribution to climate change. However, whilst often considered an environmental challenge, the climate crisis should also be viewed as a social one, with studies indicating that the impacts of climate change (attributed to human causes) are affecting a staggering 85% of the world’s population. That’s why the framework in this paper, supported by the UN High-Level Climate Champions, is a bold, new way for the building and construction sector to consider the impact on people at all stages of the life cycle, using three scopes plus scope ‘0’, to adopt an aligned framing for defining, measuring and actioning social impact. Developed by WorldGBC’s global #BetterPlacesForPeople programme, the paper will be showcased at #COP28 on 6 Dec.

I’m very pleased that the World Green Building Council's Europe Regional Network is launching our European Manifesto for a Sustainable Built Environment today. With the impending election of a new European Parliament and Commission, seven regional partners and 24 Green Building Councils across Europe are sending the message that the sector is ready to deliver on ambitious and holistic built environment policies. We have spent the past six months developing and refining recommendations across eight key pillars: Carbon, Circular Economy, Health, Water, Resilience, Finance, Biodiversity, and Just Transition. We look forward to working with policymakers to discuss our vision and begin putting it into action. Read the full European Manifesto here: https://bit.ly/4aBXDeL #EuropeanManifesto #EuropeanElections #BuildingLife

What we build today defines our tomorrow. Staying true to our ethos of “Conserving as We Construct” since 1995, CDL became the first real estate developer in SE Asia to sign the WorldGBC Net Zero Carbon Buildings Commitment in February 2021. In support of this, we renewed our SBTi-validated targets to be in alignment with a 1.5 °C warmer scenario. Our long-standing leadership commitment to spearheading change for a sustainable is evident from being included in 14 leading global ESG ratings, rankings and indexes. As we continue #BuildingtheTransition, CDL will continue our efforts to accelerate the UN SDGs. Engaging our value chain is critical to catalyse the #EnergyTransition and reduce Scope 3 emissions. With a significant contribution to energy-related carbon emissions of some 37% globally, the building sector can be a key agent of change in the transition to a low carbon, resilient and sustainable economy. Together with our WGBC partners, stakeholders and ecosystem, we can do more to accelerate towards a net zero future. #BuildingToCOP28 #buildingthetransition #WGBC23 #CDLSustainability
How do sustainable buildings and cities contribute towards the Sustainable Development Goals? Our #WGBW23 campaign is led by a network of over 75 national Green Building Councils (GBCs) and their 46,000 members and together we’re #BuildingTheTransition. This week our network has highlighted the importance of the three transitions essential in creating a #sustainable #builtenvironment: the energy transition, regenerative transition and just transition. Our campaign leads into the UN’s SDG Summit and pinpoints 11 of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals essential to catalyse a sustainable built environment. The time to act is now.

Following our Net Zero, Naturally event, one of the hot topics to come from the discussion was ‘how to boost biodiversity in your real estate projects’. This resulted in five ways to enhance biodiversity in your real estate projects. For those of us who work in the real estate sector - businesses, investors and customers - we have a unique opportunity to contribute positively to our environment. The event included a panel of speakers all bringing their expertise to the table, Michael Pawlyn from Exploration Architects, Jennie Colville who is Head of Sustainability at LandSec, Morgan Taylor who is Director at Greengage Consulting, Drew Davy who is Senior Sustainability Insights Manager at Grosvenor Property UK and Conor Storkey who is Director of Sustainability at Brookfield Properties. How do you incorporate biodiversity into your projects? Share your strategies below. #BiodiversityInRealEstate #GreenInfrastructure #BiodiversityActionPlan #NetZeroNaturally
