Geneva, 11 November - Today, on Cities, Regions and Built Environment Day at COP26, business leaders and national, regional and city-level policymakers will gather to discuss the collaborative solutions that can accelerate climate action over the next decade. As part of the #BuildingToCOP26 Coalition, the World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD) is one of the organizers of the Cities, Regions and Built Environment Day in collaboration with UN High-Level Climate Champions, the COP26 Presidency and the UK’s Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS). To mark this dedicated day, the #BuildingToCOP26 Coalition has highlighted 26 game-changing built environment climate initiatives, including:
Buildings are responsible for almost 40% of global energy-related carbon emissions and 50% of all extracted materials. By 2050, 1.6 billion urban dwellers will be regularly exposed to extremely high temperatures and over 800 million people living in more than 570 cities will be vulnerable to sea-level rise and coastal flooding. The initiatives showcased today send a clear signal to policymakers and the private sector that the built environment is vital to halving emissions by 2030 and limiting global heating to 1.5℃. How cross-sectoral collaboration is starting to accelerate The #BuildingToCOP26 Coalition has united around shared climate goals for the built environment system, developed through the UNFCCC Marrakech Partnership for Global Climate Action Human Settlements and Resilience Pathway, highlighting the built environment as a critical solution provider to the climate crisis:
The Coalition represents tens of thousands of businesses, governments and civil society organizations across the world and their alliance signals accelerated, deep collaboration across the entire built environment value chain. Initiatives highlighted at Cities, Regions and Built Environment Day In total, 26 initiatives have been announced that are collectively driving deep collaboration and triggering a positive systemic transformation in the built environment:
