The Road to COP26: Tackling Net Zero Whole Life Carbon
Join UKGBC on the 5-year anniversary of the landmark Paris Agreement signing as we announce one of our key upcoming COP26 initiatives: A Net Zero Whole Life Carbon Roadmap for the built environment.
Event
Past event
The one–year countdown to COP26 has officially begun and business leadership only continues to grow, as evidenced by the UK’s ever-increasing number of signatories to the Net Zero Carbon Buildings Commitment. UKGBC is now taking this leadership further as one of several European GBCs who are working on proposals for a major new initiative: the development of a Net Zero Whole Life Carbon Roadmap for the built environment.
The roadmap aims to build consensus on the pathway to a net zero carbon built environment through:
- Developing carbon targets in line with the Paris Agreement
- Setting out actions, owners and processes to achieve targets
- Enabling consistent sector-based action plans
This is your first chance to learn about how this roadmap can apply to your organisation and what actions you can take as we move towards a net zero built environment.
