Description

Description	Zero Carbon Buildings for All – embodies a strong coalition of national and local actors aligning on enabling policies, roadmaps and NDC commitments that will drive the decarbonization of the global building stock, in high- and low-income countries alike, by mid-century. The initiative also includes strong representation from the private sector and financial institutions, which will encourage these government commitments as clear and essential market signals for upgrading supply chains and mobilizing finance. This initiative will dramatically enhance ambition and action on buildings-related emissions and consists of two intertwined and mutually supportive components that will be developed in tandem.
Objectives	Zero Carbon Buildings for All targets two major gaps in the development of mainstream markets for net zero carbon buildings – enabling policy frameworks and associated financing – and, in so doing, not only leads to dramatic carbon emissions reductions, but delivers a healthier, more productive environment to billions of people.
Activities	Component 1 — Drive National Ambition via Enabling Policies for Zero Carbon Buildings. Public commitments by regionally influential national governments to attain Paris-compliant (zero carbon) new buildings by 2030 and existing buildings by 2050, reflected in 2020 climate policies such as NDCs. Component 2 — Drive Action Through $1Trillion+ in Zero Carbon Buildings Financing by 2030. Commitments by leaders in industry and finance to participate in and advise country-by-country policy road mapping processes, and to quickly and decisively align investment and market activity with outcomes.

Progress towards the goals	The global launch of the Zero Carbon Building Acclerator project was June 22, 2021. The National launches of the project in Colombia and Turkey were held earlier in May and June which included over 100 stakeholders. Nine working groups have been established and are meeting regularly in Colombia, the first country to launch their project.
