Construction21 acts for climate

On November 12, Construction21, France GBC and R20 called to building professionals to mobilize for the climate. The Construction21 network hosts the commitments of the sector's companies and organizations. They will be presented to the UNEP during the Buildings Day of the COP21, December 3rd.

On this occasion will be launched the "Global Alliance for Buildings and Construction," which aims to bring together professionals around three common goals:

  • Communicate around the sector targets for the climate and the opportunities and impacts generated by this change;
  • Working together to accelerate technology sharing and knowledge and facilitating access to finance;
  • Develop appropriate local solutions, to global, to remain below the target of 2 ° C.

Construction21 also wishes to contribute. The objectives of the Alliance are at the heart of Construction21 since its inception: as a social media, itwas created to educate building professionals and accelerate the dissemination of effective climate solutions around the world, for sustainable buildings and cities.

By joining this alliance, Construction21 provides a space for exchanges online where all the actors involved in this initiative will publish their actions. The Construction21 network provides the Alliance with its expertise in enabling the convergence of information platforms on construction and sustainable cities (UN Sustainable Development Goal No. 11) in the context of facilitating mechanism for technology SDGs.
