All buildings must be net zero carbon by 2050 to meet the goals of the Paris Agreement, but fewer than 1 percent of buildings are today. Closing this gap will require enhanced ambition and execution of more efficient buildings and renewable energy supply.\u00a0Zero Carbon Buildings for All, a multi-partner global initiative endorsed by the UN Secretary General, was featured at the 2019 UN Climate Action Summit.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Buildings operations account for 28 percent of energy-related CO2<\/sub>\u00a0emissions, making them among the largest contributors to climate change. The good news is that improving buildings is also one of the most proven, cost-effective climate mitigation solutions available. Improved buildings often feature the latest in architectural design and enhance the quality of life, health and productivity of people living and working in them.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Zero Carbon Buildings for All will leverage the leadership of government, industry and civil society to both secure commitments to ambitious targets (national policy roadmaps to decarbonize new buildings by 2030 and existing buildings by 2050) and mobilize funding (at least $1 trillion in Paris Agreement-compliant buildings investment in developing countries by 2030).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The national governments announcing their commitment to Zero Carbon Buildings for All include a cross-section of developing and industrialized countries:\u00a0Kenya,\u00a0Turkey, the\u00a0United Arab Emirates, and the\u00a0United Kingdom.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An analysis found that if Zero Carbon Buildings for All were to succeed in just 10 economically and politically diverse countries, avoided emissions by 2030 would be 432 million tons CO2e annually \u2013 equivalent to 5 percent of today’s global energy-related emissions.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This joint initiative represents a change in the ambition of policymakers, advocates and the private sector, and will unite leaders across sectors in a strong international coalition to decarbonize the building sector and meet climate goals.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Financial institution supporters include\u00a0African Development Bank,\u00a0International Finance Corp.,\u00a0Investment Fund for Developing Countries (Denmark),\u00a0European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, European Investment Bank, and others.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Private sector leaders have also stepped up to offer technical expertise, including building design firms like\u00a0Gensler\u00a0and\u00a0BuroHappold, and building technologies firms like\u00a0ROCKWOOL Group\u00a0and\u00a0Saint-Gobain, among others.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Civil society partners include the\u00a0Global Alliance for Buildings and Construction, Global Environment Facility, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, Program for Energy Efficiency in Buildings, Urban Land Institute,\u00a0World Economic Forum,\u00a0World Green Building Council,\u00a0World Resources Institute, and others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These commitments join those galvanized by complementary efforts like the World Green Building Council\u2019s Net Zero Carbon Buildings commitment and the Global Alliance for Building and Construction\u2019s Global Call.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PARTNER QUOTES:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cKenya is committed to joining the Zero Carbon Buildings initiative with a view of implementing sustainable affordable housing program and urban regeneration as part of our country\u2019s Big 4 Agenda through integration of green building practices in the policies, regulations and standards at National and Subnational Levels,\u201d says\u00a0James Wainaina Macharia\u00a0E.G.H., Cabinet Secretary of Kenya\u2019s Ministry of Transport, Infrastructure,\u00a0 Housing, Urban Development and Public Works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFrom long-standing programs on building energy efficiency, we know what is needed to address the emissions of this sector,\u201d says\u00a0Naoko Ishii<\/strong>, CEO and Chairperson of the Global Environment Facility.\u00a0 \u201cThe dual approach of the Zero Carbon Buildings for All initiative \u2014 to create ambitious national targets and mobilize funding to meet them \u2014 will accelerate progress towards the Paris climate goals. The GEF will help kick-start this new initiative with targeted financing to support developing countries in their buildings decarbonization efforts.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cZero Carbon Buildings for\u00a0All is exactly the kind of bold and forward-thinking initiative\u00a0the international building\u00a0community needs to address climate change, and we\u2019re proud to support this mission,\u201d\u00a0says\u00a0Mike Seyle, president of BuroHappold U.S. \u201cSince\u00a0BuroHappold\u2019s inception,\u00a0protecting and enhancing the environment for future generations has been at the\u00a0core of our work and ethos,\u00a0and we believe there is tremendous opportunity to develop coherent\u00a0net zero carbon strategies that meet sustainability\u00a0objectives while creating\u00a0comfortable, productive, and effective environments that enhance people\u2019s\u00a0lives.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cZero Carbon Buildings for All is an imperative to reach the Paris Agreement objectives and generates social and economic benefits,\u201d says\u00a0Martina Otto, head of Secretariat of the Global Alliance for Buildings and Construction. \u201cThe expected doubling of the building stock by 2050, outpaces current energy efficiency improvement rates, but also provides an opportunity to redirect our investments to future-proof our buildings. Founded at COP21 as the global platform that gathers governments, private sector, civil society organizations and key buildings initiatives, we work with our over 120 members to go further faster together in the needed transformation to a zero-emission, efficient and resilient buildings and construction sector. With our regional roadmap processes we will help catalyze more commitments and partnerships amongst stakeholders, and with our annual Global Status Report we will keep track of progress.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIFC acknowledges the importance of zero carbon buildings to address climate change,\u201d says\u00a0Alzbeta Klein, director and global head, climate business, at the International Finance Corp. \u201cIFC has invested more than $4.5b in green buildings to date and developed an in-house certification system for green buildings called EDGE (Excellence in Design for Greater Efficiencies). In line with our support for Zero Carbon Buildings for All, in September the EDGE program enabled Zero Carbon certification to accelerate market creation toward the pathway of limiting the global warming below 2 degrees centigrade.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cStrong policies for building energy efficiency can help significantly lower energy use and reduce the cost of carbon mitigation, making it easier to achieve global carbon stabilization,\u201d says\u00a0Sha Yu, Earth scientist at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe will not solve the climate crisis if we do not tackle the building sector,\u201d says\u00a0Christiana Hageneder, executive director of the Program for Energy Efficient Buildings. \u201cEnergy-efficient buildings are gaining ground worldwide\u2014now we need to get to scale. The leadership of the nations committing to Zero Carbon Buildings for All will help us do that.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cClimate change is one of the most significant threats facing our planet today. Reducing worldwide energy consumption, and using renewable energy to meet the remaining demand, are both vital in the fight against climate change,\u201d says\u00a0Mirella Vitale, senior vice president of marketing, Communication & Public Affairs of ROCKWOOL Group. \u201cSince the cleanest energy source possible is the one that is not used in the first place, reducing energy consumption should be society\u2019s primary priority. In terms of energy consumption in buildings, it\u2019s the most cost-effective approach as well. We hope that through collaboration with cities and others we can make the world\u2019s urban environments more energy efficient, resilient and livable, and our homes and buildings safer and healthier.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe contribution of buildings to the global greenhouse gas emissions is very significant,\u201d says\u00a0Pierre-Andre de Chalendar, chairman and CEO of Saint-Gobain. \u201cIt is of crucial importance to bring the built environment into a low carbon roadmap. This will be achieved first of all through highly energy efficient buildings, both for new built and existing buildings. It is also through a complete rethinking of the design of the buildings, based on low carbon solutions, as for example lightweight solutions can provide. I believe that the Zero Carbon Buildings for All initiative will be a key milestone towards achieving a decarbonized built environment by mid-century.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe real estate industry has a key role to play in working with all levels of government to implement strategies that better protect both the built and natural environment,\u201d says\u00a0Billy Grayson, executive director for the Urban Land Institute\u2019s Center for Sustainability and Economic Performance. \u201cULI is at the forefront of this issue with our Greenprint Center for Building Performance, whose members are addressing climate change through a shared commitment to dramatically reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 2030. Working with our members, we are helping them identify cost-effective strategies to achieve net zero carbon over time, for new buildings, existing buildings, and their overall real estate portfolio.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cZero Carbon Buildings for All will catalyse the alignment of efficiency, renewables and offsets to help meet climate goals\u201d says\u00a0Kristen Panerali, head of the Electricity Industry at the World Economic Forum. \u201cSystemic Efficiency \u2013 maximizing effectiveness and efficiencies at the intersection of energy, buildings and transport \u2013 is a critical enabler of the energy transition.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe World Green Building Council’s global network vision is to transform the built environment, make it healthier and more sustainable,\u201d says\u00a0Cristina Gamboa, CEO of the World Green Building Council. \u201cThis requires eliminating\u00a0both operational and embodied carbon emissions by 2050.\u00a0We are delighted to be a partner in the Zero Carbon Buildings for All initiative, as an extension of the foundations laid by the work of our 70 Green Building Councils\u00a0driving this market transformation. The buildings and construction sector can act and must respond to the climate emergency.\u201d \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhen it comes to climate change, we need to shift from \u2018doing better\u2019 to \u2018doing enough,\u2019\u201d says\u00a0Andrew Steer, president and CEO of World Resources Institute. \u201cThis requires reducing emissions to net zero by 2050. Decarbonizing buildings is absolutely essential to attaining that.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
