Uniting the global built environment to drive climate action
Thursday, June 27, 2024 | 17:00 – 20:30 (BST)
The international alliance between the UK-based Building Research Establishment (BRE), Green Building Council of Australia (GBCA) and the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) is welcoming four new partners as it aims to unlock the sustainable finance needed for the built environment to meet its climate goals. These include the Singapore Green Building Council (SGBC), GRESB, the Climate Bonds Initiative (Climate Bonds), and the Carbon Risk Real Estate Monitor (CRREM).
The first in a series of milestones for the partnership, the alliance will publish next month a practical guide: Financing Transformation: A Guide to Green Building for Green Bonds and Green Loans. The guide will show how verification and certification schemes ensure compliance with multiple sustainable classification frameworks used globally, such as the EU and UK green taxonomies, and how they can be used to put the built environment on a 1.5C trajectory.
