🔊"The group feels that standardising global #decarbonisation standards, with concrete standards, metrics, and decarbonisation tools that can be used globally, will help. A lack of a common approach in reporting standards makes it harder to truly understand building performance and its ability to adapt to #climate risks over time." 🌍 BRE joins coalition made up of Green Building Council of Australia, Singapore Green Building Council (SGBC), U.S. Green Building Council and Alliance HQE - GBC to publish this report, "Building Transition: How to Scale and Finance an Inclusive Transition for the Built Environment," which argues most buildings are locked out of #greenfinance and resources due to a lack of capital. 📄 Focusing its research on the estimated 75% of buildings that have not adopted green practices, read more in ThisWeekinFM: https://lnkd.in/euP7zwJ9 #netzero #construction #sustainableconstruction #climatechange

In collaboration with global green building organizations, the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) has launched "Building Transition: How to Scale and Finance an Inclusive Transition for the Built Environment," a groundbreaking initiative to bring 75% of underperforming buildings up to #sustainability standards. This call to action provides a roadmap to direct investment toward these buildings through policy reform, global #decarbonization standards, and resilience-focused financing, ensuring that all properties—not just top performers—can decarbonize effectively. #USGBC #GreenBuilding #SustainableFinance #Decarbonization #BuildingTransition #ClimateAction #SustainableDevelopment #InclusiveFinance #ResilientBuildings #GlobalPartnership #EnvironmentalImpact #BuiltEnvironment

🔊 How can stronger policies and taxonomies help underperforming buildings? While high-performing buildings have access to green finance and resources, the majority of existing buildings remain locked out due to a lack of capital. 📄 BRE's new report with the Green Building Council of Australia, the Singapore Green Building Council, the U.S. Green Building Council, Alliance HQE - GBC, calls for stronger policies and taxonomies to direct capital toward underperforming buildings. It advocates for context-specific, performance-oriented criteria tailored to diverse building types, ensuring investment reaches all buildings. With the built environment responsible for a significant share of global emissions, unlocking investments for the underperforming majority of buildings could help us decarbonise at scale.

🔊"We believe that scalable, context-specific solutions—backed by robust data, strong policies, and global standards—are key to transforming the #builtenvironment and meeting the urgent challenges of #climatechange," said Jane Goddard, BRE Deputy CEO. 📁 New report, "Building Transition: How to Scale and Finance an Inclusive Transition for the Built Environment" argues most buildings are locked out of green finance and resources due to a lack of capital. BRE has joined an alliance of Green Building Council of Australia, the Singapore Green Building Council, the U.S. Green Building Council and Alliance HQE - GBC to publish the report and help underperforming buildings unlock investments to help them #decarbonise.

I'm pleased to share insights on the new UK Net Zero Carbon Buildings Standard (NZCBS) launched in September 2024. This pilot aims to set clear requirements for buildings to be considered net zero carbon, marking a significant milestone for the industrial and logistics sector. 📦 With a consistent framework, developers can reduce carbon emissions effectively and avoid accidental greenwashing. The NZCBS provides tailored targets for different types of I&L assets, offering clarity on what’s expected for new developments versus existing buildings. This standard will be crucial for developers looking to futureproof their projects and enhance sustainability across the board. For those in the I&L sector, it’s time to embrace this standard as a pathway to achieving genuine sustainability.

🌍 How can global #decarbonisation standards help us create a more sustainable #builtenvironment? As global regulations tighten and #climate-related risks become more pronounced, buildings that are not aligned with #sustainability standards and #decarbonisation frameworks will face higher operational costs, increased regulatory compliance costs, and reduced asset values. 📄 Our new report with the Green Building Council of Australia (GBCA), the Singapore Green Building Council (SGBC), the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC), and Alliance HQE - GBC (France), calls for the use of global decarbonisation standards to help bring the majority of buildings up to modern sustainability standards.

🔊"Bridging the gap between high-performing and underperforming buildings is essential to achieving our global #decarbonisation goals. This report underlines the importance of inclusive investment strategies that unlock capital for the majority of buildings, ensuring that no part of the #builtenvironment is left behind," said Jane Goddard, BRE's Deputy CEO. 🌏 While high-performing buildings have access to green finance and resources, most buildings remain locked out due to a lack of capital. BRE's new report "Building Transition: How to Scale and Finance an Inclusive Transition for the Built Environment," focuses on the 75% of lower-performing buildings that have not yet adopted green building practices. Developed in partnership with the Green Building Council of Australia (GBCA), the Singapore Green Building Council (SGBC), the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC), and Alliance HQE - GBC France, our new report offers key recommendations to address this challenge. It lays out how to attract capital to this large untapped segment, to ensure that decarbonisation takes place across the entire sector. BRE's new report expands the conversation to ensure financing solutions are inclusive, enabling more building owners to access the funds needed to make significant improvements.
