BUILDING POLICIES FOR CHANGE
We need to keep global warming well below 2% but we’re running out of time. Incremental change is no longer enough, we need to think bigger.
That’s why GBPN is tackling climate change at the source by working to reduce one of the biggest causes of carbon pollution – our homes and the buildings sector.
The energy used to power residential buildings represents nearly 75% of the total global energy consumption from buildings. And with new home construction booming in Asia, we have an unprecedented opportunity to take action on a game-changing scale.
But we need to work together. GBPN connects local policy makers, building professionals and industry-leading experts to drive reform. Together, we implement policies that work to mainstream zero-emissions buildings and sustainable homes. Combined with the latest global insights from GBPN, our coalitions become a powerful force for change.
“Developing better, more sustainable buildings will help us live healthier, more comfortable lives while protecting the health of the planet.

BUILDING POLICIES FOR CHANGE
We need to keep global warming well below 2% but we’re running out of time. Incremental change is no longer enough, we need to think bigger.
That’s why GBPN is tackling climate change at the source by working to reduce one of the biggest causes of carbon pollution – our homes.
The energy used to build and power residential homes represents nearly 75% of the total global energy consumption from building operations. And with construction set to explode in parts of the world like Asia, we have an opportunity like never before to take action on a game-changing scale.
But we can’t do it alone. GBPN connects local policy makers, building professionals and industry-leading experts to drive reform. Combined with the latest global insights from GBPN, our coalitions become a powerful force for change.
