Description

Description	Launched at COP21, the Global Alliance for Buildings and Construction (GlobalABC) is a voluntary partnership of national and local governments, inter-governmental organisations, businesses, associations, networks and think thanks committed to a common vision: A zero-emission, efficient and resilient buildings and construction sector. The GlobalABC functions as an umbrella or meta-platform – a network of networks – that brings together initiatives and actors focussing on the buildings and construction sector. The GlobalABC network currently includes 113 members, among which are 26 countries.
Objectives	The GlobalABC works towards a zero-emission, efficient, and resilient buildings and construction sector through: • Advocating the buildings and construction sector’s potential and impact in climate mitigation and adaption, at high level events such as the Climate Conference of the Parties. • Tracking progress in the buildings and construction sector by issuing an annual Global Status Report that draws heavily on information provided by members of the GlobalABC. • Setting a joint framework to put the buildings and construction sector on a well-below 2°C degree path through developing a common vision and goals along with a timeline to reach goals (Global Roadmap). • Catalysing action and solutions, particularly supporting and accelerating Nationally Determined Contribution implementation, including developing and promoting targeted knowledge products that fill a gap.
Activities	Annual Global Status Report on the status of the Buildings and Construction Sector Global Roadmap of trends in the sector, strengthened and validated with an extensive regionalisation process. NDC Guidance Tool Buildings Day at each UNFCCC COP
