Mobilizing all actors along the value chain
Faced with a fragmented value chain, all stakeholders – from design to construction, operations and demolition in the private and public sectors – need to play their part. We encourage policy frameworks that promote both uptake of existing, cost-effective solutions and private sector innovation – using sustainable public procurement as a lever to create markets and investor security.

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 focusing on the buildings and construction sector. The GlobalABC network currently includes 128 members, among which are 29 countries.
Objectives The GlobalABC works towards a zero-emission, efficient, and resilient buildings and construction sector through:

Raising ambitions to meet the Paris climate goals While the sector is a major emitter, it also holds huge potential for improvement. We work to raise the level of ambition in retrofitting existing buildings and future-proofing the investments that we will see going into new buildings over the next 15 years.

Mobilizing all actors along the value chain Faced with a fragmented value chain, all stakeholders – from design to construction, operations and demolition in the private and public sectors – need to play their part. We encourage policy frameworks that promote both uptake of existing, cost-effective solutions and private sector innovation – using sustainable public procurement as a lever to create markets and investor security.

Activities Tracking progress: Annual Global Status Report on the status of the Buildings and Construction Sector

Forging regional pathways towards zero emission, efficient, and resilient buildings and construction through stakeholder-driven regional roadmaps, based on our Global Roadmap.

Shaping the global agenda: Showcasing the potential of the buildings and construction sector for mitigation and adaption by shaping the global agenda (G20, COP, WUF, etc.)

One or two success stories achieved The Ministers and Heads of Delegation participating in the XXI Meeting of the Forum of Ministers of Environment of Latin America and the Caribbean (2018) endorsed our regional roadmaps by calling on the governments of the region to promote models of inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable cities and human settlements, for which support is requested to the United Nations Environment Programme and the Global Alliance for Buildings and Construction (GlobalABC) to analyze the development of a road map on buildings and low-emission, resilient and efficient construction.

Goals Tracking progress and raising ambition levels encouraging countries to decarbonise their buildings and construction sector aligned with the Paris Agreement goals.

Forging regional pathways towards a zero-emission, efficient, and resilient buildings and construction sector. Raise awareness for the buildings and construction sector's impact and potential for climate mitigation and adaptation. Foster knowledge and best practice exchange.

Comments on indicators and goals We are tracking country commitments to decarbonizing their buildings and construction sector (including in NDCs) as well as endorsements of our global and regional roadmaps as pathways to that goal.

We are raising ambition levels by tracking the sector status and highlighting priority policy actions including where those are applied. We foster knowledge exchange through regional roundtables targeting policy makers.

How will goals be achieved National governments committing to decarbonising their buildings and construction sector

National and local governments put in place priority policy actions aligned with 8 priority categories from our regional roadmaps: urban planning, new buildings, existing building retrofits, existing building operations, systems (lighting and equipment), materials, resilience, clean energy. Concrete high impact actions include mandatory building energy codes, mandatory energy labeling, stringent regulatory measures for energy efficiency in new buildings and ambitious retrofit rates.

Have you changed or strenghtened your goals We are regionalising our global roadmap forging regionally appropriate decarbonisation ways for the buildings and construction sector.
Progress towards the goals We have released a global call asking countries to develop roadmaps to decarbonizing the buildings and construction sector signed by six member countries.

The Ministers and Heads of Delegation participating in the XXI Meeting of the Forum of Ministers of Environment of Latin America and the Caribbean endorsed our regional roadmaps by calling on the governments of the region to promote models of inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable cities and human settlements, for which support is requested to the United Nations Environment Programme and the Global Alliance for Buildings and Construction (GlobalABC) to analyze the development of a road map on buildings and low-emission, resilient and efficient construction.

How are you tracking progress of your initiative We are tracking country commitments to decarbonizing their buildings and construction sector (including in NDCs), priority policy measures, as well as endorsements of our global and regional roadmaps as pathways to that goal.

We are raising ambition levels by tracking the sector status and highlighting priority policy actions including showing where those are applied. We foster knowledge exchange through regional roundtables targeting policy makers.
