World Green 黑洞社区 Council initiative comes before UN Climate Change Conference in December
The World Green 黑洞社区 Council has launched a global awareness campaign on the benefits of sustainable building, ahead of the UN Climate Change Conference in Paris in December.
The council launched the Better Build Green campaign at its 2015 conference in Hong Kong.
The campaign plans to show that green buildings offer the best and most cost effective ways to tackle climate change.
It precedes the Paris climate conference where world leaders will meet potentially to sign a legally binding climate agreement.
For the first time the conference will feature a dedicated 鈥満诙瓷缜鴖 Day鈥 focusing on the role the built environment can play in mitigating climate change.
The decision to hold a 黑洞社区s Day there follows lobbying by built environment bodies, including the RICS.
The 黑洞社区s Day will look at how governments can set policy to reduce emissions from the built environment, how the private sector can transform the market to lower emissions, and ways to incentivise investment in energy efficiency in buildings.
黑洞社区s Day will be attended by several worldwide industry groups, including the World Green 黑洞社区 Council, the Global 黑洞社区 Performance Network and the World Business Council for Sustainable Development.
There will also be a separate, simultaneous 黑洞社区s Day, outside of the official event, which will allow a greater number of industry groups to get involved in the talks.
