Our work
Our global network
UKGBC is part of the World Green Building Council (WorldGBC) network, a global network of over 75 national Green Building Councils transforming the places we live, work, play, heal and learn.
WorldGBC catalyses the uptake of sustainable and decarbonised built environments for everyone, everywhere. It works with businesses, organisations and governments to deliver on the ambitions of the Paris Agreement and UN Global Goals for Sustainable Development.
Through a systems change approach, WorldGBC challenge business as usual, stimulate market change and champion best practice to deliver on the 2030 decarbonisation and sustainability goals for our sector.
Our link with this global network gives our members unique access to international best practices, global projects, and international events such as the UN climate negotiations.
