The challenge we face

Source: 2019 Global Status Report, International Energy Agency for the Global Alliance for Building and Construction

By 2050, global population will increase

27% to 9.8bn and global floor area

will increase by 100%

• Buildings are responsible for

39% of global carbon

emissions

• Energy demand will increase

by 50% by 2050

Climate action Resource efficiency Health and wellbeing

• 91% of people live where air

pollution levels exceed World Health Organization limits

• People are 40% more likely to

have asthma due to living in a home with damp or mould

104 of 194 countries that signed the Paris

Agreement have committed to improve building energy efficiency to meet mitigation targets.

Only 62 countries currently have building energy codes.

• Buildings are responsible for

50% of global material use

• 42.4bn tonnes of

materials consumed annually

Resource efficiency Health and wellbeing

Our sector is crucial to delivering global goals

By 2050, new buildings, infrastructure and renovations will have net zero embodied carbon, and all buildings, including existing buildings, must be net zero operational carbon.

By 2030, new buildings, infrastructure and renovations will have at least 40% less embodied carbon with significant upfront carbon reduction, and all new buildings must be net zero operational carbon.

Bringing embodied carbon upfrontCoordinated action for the building and construction sector to tackle embodied carbon

A global campaign to accelerate a sustainable built environment by proving and supporting benefits for people, particularly related to health and wellbeing

Project targets

• Reduce contribution from built environment to global health crises, such as air pollution

• Increase awareness and education on sustainable, healthy buildings

• Empower advocacy around sustainability with health co-benefits

• Prove business case for green buildings

Why we need a step change in

the way we design,

construct and operate

2. Deliver more for less, reduce

CAPEX

3 Maintain and operate for less, reduce cost of

failure

1. Invest Successfully in Assets &

Infrastructure

4. Transform & Disrupt existing

models

Improve user experience, engage local

business services, safe and healthy,

convenient and efficient living

Driving more finance towards sustainable construction projects

Ursula Hartenberger, RICS

Why do we need to drive more investment to

sustainable buildings?

Driving more finance towards sustainable construction projects

Driving more finance towards sustainable construction projects

Ursula Hartenberger, RICS

What makes a construction project eligible for “green”

finance?

Example of defining “green” – EU Taxonomy for Sustainable FinanceWhat is the Taxonomy?A list of economic activities with performance criteria for their contribution to six environmental objectives.

• Increases investor confidence by providing an answer to the question that: What is a sustainable building?

• Encourages the directing of investment flows towards low carbon construction projects and high-performing real estate assets and the development of dedicated financial products and instruments, i.e. green mortgages

• Includes safeguards for 6 environmental objectives (climate mitigation, climate adaptation, water, circular economy, pollution, ecosystems)

• Covers virtually all building types and types of renovations • Strong focus on renovation of existing stock• Represents a dynamic trajectory with tightening of thresholds to ensure a zero-

carbon stock by 2050• Offers an international investment dimension
