UKGBC Launches #BuildingLife Roadmap Ambassadors Campaign

Introducing UKGBC鈥檚 #BuildingLife Roadmap Ambassadors, uniting industry and policy leaders to accelerate action on whole life carbon and climate resilience across the built environment.

蘑菇直播 launching today the 听Roadmaps Ambassador Campaign,听a collective effort听from industry leaders and policymakers听to support the adoption of the听Net Zero Whole Life Carbon Roadmap听and the听UK Climate Resilience Roadmap听across the built environment sector.听听

UKGBC鈥檚 Roadmaps guide the听built environment听sector in building a low carbon, resilient and regenerative built environment at the pace听required听to meet climate targets. Adopting the roadmaps more widely will help deliver a sustainable built environment that protects lives, homes, jobs,听communities听and nature.

Why Now?

Findings from the听Whole Life Carbon Roadmap Progress Report听show that the built environment is dangerously听behind on听decarbonisation.听Since 2018, emissions in the built environment have fallen by just 14% against the 24% needed.听The evidence is clear:听systemic听acceleration is听required.听听

This campaign,听part of听WorldGBC鈥檚听#BuildingLife initiative,听is听working across Europe to听eliminate听emissions across the full lifecycle of buildings and deliver a climate-neutral built environment. It directly supports听WorldGBC鈥檚听initiative which aims to promote a whole life carbon approach across 12 counties and supports the global ambition of making near-zero and resilient buildings the norm by 2030

Paul Cahalan, Associate Director of Membership, Marketing and Communications said:

鈥淭his campaign comes at a critical time for the sector听amid a rapidly changing climate听and brings听together industry and political voices to take the key messages from the two roadmaps deeper into industry and policy conversations. Though greater adoption,听industry听and policymakers听can听use the roadmaps to help听create a low carbon, resilient and regenerative built environment.鈥�
