REPORT
A message from Cristina Gamboa, CEO,
World Green Building Council:
“Thank you to our network for presenting such
a powerful and unified call during #WGBW23.
We are grateful to GBCSA for the leadership they
demonstrated, hosting events and taking part in
social media throughout the week. Over 8% of the
GBCs and a range of partners demonstrated that by
leveraging localised solutions from across the built
environment, we can accelerate the global transition
to a decarbonised, sustainable and resilient society.
The built environment is the largest contributing
sector to global energy-related carbon emissions – and
therefore it is key to leveraging solutions to secure
a sustainable future for all.
“We have had a final reminder from this year’s Sixth
Assessment Report from the Intergovernmental Panel
on Climate Change (IPCC) that we must take urgent
action if we are to prevent our being evicted by an
uninhabitable planet. Yet while we may be running out
of time, by no means are we running out of solutions,
which are being pioneered around the world right
now by our global network, as we advocate together
for #BuildingTheTransition.
“If we are to succeed, solutions must be scaled
up, and that’s why political and industry ambition is
crucial. Our global community sent a strong message
to leaders around the world that the time to act is now,
and it is with their ongoing support which is driving
action to transition to energy efficient, regenerative
and just built environments for everyone, everywhere.”

The Just Transition
We cannot achieve climate justice without social
justice. The people who have contributed the least to
environmental degradation are suffering the biggest
consequences. Equality is not the same as equity.
Advancing a just transition in the built environment
means committed solidarity to protect human rights
from financial flows, to supply chains, to geopolitics.
We cannot achieve climate justice
without social justice.
