قسمتي از متن فيلم: Great well we have a good number of attendees on so I will I will start and and tell you how the webinar will work and then introduce our speakers first my name is Graham Q I’ve been supporting these your carbon buildings for all initiative for WRI and working with

Partners and many of you on the call to help make this initiative a success with that what I would like to do is again welcome everyone to the webinar and I’ll introduce the speakers we have four speakers from partner organizations that have really stepped up and raised the

Level of ambition and in attempting to bring this initiative to the fore at the UN climate action summit the first speaker is going to be Emma Stuart who I think many of you who have been involved in this will know has been lead organizer emma is the director of urban

Efficiency and climate at the WRI Ross Centre for sustainable cities where she leads w i’s global work on urban efficiency in climate finance she has a background in buildings from the private sector working with Autodesk and was a member of the board of the US Green Building Council and has brought that

Expertise admirably to this initiative that will be followed by Victoria burrows who is a director of the advancing Net Zero initiative for the world Green Building Council she oversees that that project as well as the Net Zero Carbon buildings commitment this was a a very much of path-breaking

Effort to bring attention to zero carbon buildings upon which we’re we’re building in this initiative Victoria has a background in in sustainable development advisory clients and working with Green Building tools so we are very happy to have Victoria and of course have WG BC as a valued partner then we’ll be joined by

Omid Suvari and I mean is from the International Finance Corporation IFC he’s a senior industry specialist on green buildings and he is the global technical lead for the edge green building certification which is has it has also been a great way to focus attention on this this important means

Of evaluating the potential of buildings or the actuality the implementation of buildings to to achieve Net Zero he has worked extensively with private sector climate smart investment of course from IFC and advised numerous property development projects around the world and last but not least we have Elizabeth one gates each egg a and

Elizabeth is the chair of the Kennedy Green Building Society and a has been a valued advisor to the Kenyan government throughout this throughout this process and I think has really been the one who has shepherded Kenya’s participation their commitment to this initiative Elizabeth was the CEO and co-founder of a sustainable construction consultancy

And has really been the leader in the transformation of the built environment in Kenya so we’re extremely happy that elizabeth is here and happy that Kenya is there’s a country that has committed to this initiative so with that I think I will hand it to Emma to begin and you

Can see the agenda Emma will provide an overview of the initiative and then we’ll have statements with the perspective of the other three speakers so a past TMM one as well thank you good morning good evening well I’ll start off with the bad news the building the construction sector is one of the

Biggest climate culprits known to human in fact the operation of buildings alone represents roughly 28% of global co2 emissions fat for perspective is more than the entire transportation sector and in addition because buildings are long-lived assets averaging 40 to 100 years in life their emissions are effectively locked in those construction

For longer than most vehicles most power plants even for other forms of heavy infrastructure now the good news upgrading the energy performance in buildings is one of the cheapest ways to reduce greenhouse gas emissions is feasible through a combination of existing policy mechanisms and provides multiple health and human benefits to

Their occupants and to their neighbors in fact the International Energy Agency recently found that pairing energy efficiency with clean electricity the two key ingredients to a zero carbon building could cut 87% of building emissions by 2050 with existing widely available technology so that puts well within reach today what climate science

Tells us is necessary to stabilize the climate by mid-century just to hammer home this point of all the emissions reductions available to us through 2030 buildings represent by far the largest source of low cost reductions roughly the equivalent of agriculture industry energy supply and forestry combined so if you’re interested in tackling climate

Change buildings are the single most cost-effective place to start making them a particularly important for the developing world what’s troubling is that the headwinds have intensified because of the growing need for floor space around the world emissions from buildings are set to double by 2050 rather than to drop this is because

Despite gains in energy efficiency the shared growth and demand for buildings is outstripping those gains it would be like if you chose to jog on a treadmill but the treadmill was set to sprinter speed we are effectively falling off the back this means that those who track climb progress like mission 2020 single

Outbuildings as one of the sector’s falling farthest behind this confronts us with an enigma the single best means to fight climate change chiefly while improving human health and productivity is the same sector lagging the pack on climate action so what’s needed it’s evident that this sector needs a shot in the arm

We need heightened ambition to decarbonize the building stock by mid-century as the climate science dictates and we need broader awareness that zero carbon buildings are viable flexible and affordable now since this is a relatively young subject matter let’s talk definitions for a moment the good news is that being young front

Runner organizations like world Green Building Council and the IFC have managed to already harmonize their proposed definitions of zero carbon buildings in essence a building or a set of buildings qualify as zero net carbon by reducing and offsetting 100% of their operational emissions they do so through a combination of energy efficiency on

And/or off-site renewable energy and we’re absolutely necessary high-quality certified and preferably local offsets IFC goes one step further by encouraging building owners to achieve at least 40% of that via energy efficiency and insist that any buildings using offsets recertify more frequently than those meant wholly via on-site renewables this

Graphic shows the order of operations recommended starting with optimized levels of energy efficiencies before renewables on-site renewables before off-site and renewables before carbon offsets now please note that the zero carbon buildings for all initiative currently focuses on operational emissions but our founding partner world Green Building Council has launched groundbreaking work on embodied

Emissions it will inform this initiative and those countries interested in expanding their commitment further upstream into the supply chain can do so because zero carbon buildings have already been proven physical feasible technologically in multiple markets and in climates WRI has a research report called accelerating building decarbonization which provides numerous

Examples from Kenya Mexico China and India so what’s been missing is the political ambition and appropriate policy pathways to drive market change enter the UN Secretary General in the spring of 2019 he lay down the gauntlet to those of us in the climate change field to support national governments in

Producing concrete realistic but ambitious plans to bring the world to Net Zero emissions by 2050 WRI was honored to be asked by the secretary-general to lead this charge but quickly recruited frontrunner organizations like those listed here each of which brings a unique set of strengths to the challenge over the

Course of five months a twenty page detailed proposal was assembled one example of a front-runner is the UN’s global ABC program which seeks to foster national political ambition for greener buildings via policy dialogues and regional roadmaps and is therefore critically important foundation laying work to this initiative while peep and

IFC bring world-class expertise on financing instruments to remove the many obstacles to unlocking working capital entitled zero carbon buildings for all intended to convey that such buildings are not exclusively the domain of technologically advanced or wealthy countries this multi partner initiative will realize heightened ambition by leveraging the combined leadership of

Government industry and civil society to drive policy ambition and implementation via financing more than a campaign or declaration it is designed as a multi-country multi-year multi partner initiative with funding to provide free assistance to government’s ready to commit to decarbonizing their building stock by 2050 specifically the initiative is a

Custom composed of two parts drive national ambition via enabling policies and secondly drive implementation via financing to receive support national governments are invited to commit to zero new buildings by 2030 and existing buildings by 2050 for ratifiers of the Paris agreement this increased ambition should be reflected in their 2020 MVC’s

As well as in their domestic policies based on years of experience of the founding partners we encourage vertical synchronization between national and sub-national governments in order to jointly drive change most effectively but technical assistance clearly is not enough financing for zero-carbon building projects both new construction and renovation and private finance

Institutions alike when banks sign on to this initiative they commit to a collective goal of one trillion dollars by 2030 aligned with Paris compliant or Zero Carbon buildings projects they also commit to incorporate preferential loan conditions for such projects in a very good sign in just two to three months

Numerous multilateral development things have already stepped up to signal their support for the initiative and to offer their technical expertise to signatory countries and cities it seems that a shot in the arm is already starting to galvanize people thanks to our partnership of organizations momentum is growing even before the initiative

Officially launches in just three months over the summer and on a shoestring outreach budget we were able to garner declarations of support from four multilateral banks plus the International Finance Corporation the private sector of the World Bank three national governments of major economies in Africa Asia and Eastern Europe with

More actively considering their participation for building technology companies the world’s largest architecture firm and the World Economic Forum the largest network of CEOs and heads of state we invite government’s financial institutions and corporations or design firms to commit each and different and concrete ways national government commits by signing statements

Of intent to plan and execute zero carbon building policy Road mapping processes while city governments earned to sign on to world gbc’s advancing that zero commitments financial institutions commit by providing expert input and technical assistance to policy roadmaps to unlock flows of finance with an aim of hitting the one trillion dollar mark

By 2030 M corporations and firms commit by providing expert input and creating effective frameworks for cost effective industry change corporations that themselves own a lot of real estate can also commit to decarbonize their buildings via the world GBC commitment what support will government’s receive countries that sign on will receive

Philanthropic we funded technical support on national policy roadmaps and action plans from a network of local and international experts including but not limited to world resources institute world Green Building Council global ABC the International Finance Corporation the program for energy efficiency in building the World Economic Forum and the signatory financial institutions

Philanthropic funds have already been identified and the portion of the overall budget secured we’d love for you to get involved and join this international collaboration on the ground floor you can go to this website zero carbon buildings for all for more information or contact the partnership via this email address with that I’d

Like to hand it over to our partners at World Green Building Council represented by Victoria burrows Thank You Emma and thank you to the World Resources Institute for inviting us to participate in this working group to bring nets urukrama buildings into the agenda for the United Nations

Climate actions on it and also the expression of recognition in the work that we have completed already in this space and including the commitment commitment as a signature pathway so I’d like to explain a little bit to you about the net Zurich on buildings commitment the commitment was launched

In the last year at the global climate action summit in San Francisco as a mechanism or a platform to both recognize and inspire action towards Net Zero Carbon buildings at scale that leadership action that will set an advanced trajectory ahead of the 2050 goals so actually signature needs to the

Commitment sign up to their portfolios being Net Zero Carbon both new and existing buildings by 2030 so that represents a leadership position for action at scale that large scale response that we desperately need in order to meet the goals that mr outlined so nicely cities and national cities sub-national governments and national

Governments can also sign up to the commitment through initiating and implementing regulations and non regulation frameworks the new buildings to operate at Net Zero Carbon from 2030 and all buildings to operate at Net Zero Carbon by 2050 well Green Building Council’s Epis framework has very outcome focus so

We’ve set the goal as achieving that zero carbon emissions across that scale how you achieve that goal will depend on the organization or the government that are signing up to create bespoke roadmaps to achieving Net Zero emissions that can be verified the progress towards achieving that goal verified through various green building rating

Tools for example or through third party carbon accounting and a really strong component of the commitment is about influencing others it’s the advocacy piece to help inspire both up and down the supply chain broader and wider carbon emission reductions through the supply chain we currently have 53 signatures to the

Commitment we are Jew to announce more companies that are signing up during climate week in New York and also new cities that are signing up to the commitment at the the mayor’s summit in Copenhagen with c40 and that includes the state of California who is our most

Recent states and region that signed up just earlier this year we have a detailed guidance document that sets out the requirements for the commitment but it is more like guidance it kind of gives guidance on best practice approaches to all the key components of the commitment including prioritizing energy efficiency to reduce energy

Demand best practice approaches to generating and procuring renewable energy and also standards for offsets that should be used as a last resort we leverage the work of our Green Building Council network across 70 countries and 37,000 member organizations and also their rating tools to help demonstrate action towards the commitments being set

And then we also have action plans for each organization that is signing up to the commitment or each government then they create these action plans to show you that it is a commitment to act and implement a strategy towards achieving Net Zero emissions our theory of change is that three core

Players within the market government sector businesses and NGOs can work together and foster further and faster action towards achieving our goals of Net Zero Carbon and that that would inspire the outcomes from market necessary to facilitate this market transformation so for example inspiring innovative solutions developing skills and capacity creating new jobs boosting

The economy creating deeply energy efficient buildings and a decarbonized energy grid and ultimately the mass delivery of Net Zero Carbon buildings so after a company an organization or a government lands up to our commitment that’s just actually the first step is the commit part is to set the target

Date by which you want to achieve net zero emissions against that advance trajectory that I mentioned the second component is disclosed so understanding what your current consumption is from an energy point of view and also your carbon emissions profile so that you can identify potential savings throughout the

Portfolio and then develop and implement a carbon roadmap that outlines the key actions and milestones needed to achieve the Net Zero goal that has been set and verification is really important to understand where you are along that roadmap to achieve those ultimate targets to demonstrate enhanced energy performance reduced carbon emissions and

Progress towards a Net Zero Carbon asset sample value and then finally the advocacy piece which is whether you’re in a design firm and you’re looking at the project that you’re designing or whether you’re a manufacturer and the projects are the products that you’re creating demonstrating leadership to support the transition towards Net Zero

Carbon buildings so thank you again to WRI for welcoming this commitment as a way forward for this initiative to support and inform decisions for responsible investment and emission reduction and so I’ll now hand off to Ahmed from the IFC this is all meet scenario I’m Green Building a

Specialists from IFC we are the private sector arm of the World Bank Group we have been working with world by world Green Building Council since last five six years on green buildings and with WRI on the initiatives four zero zero carbon around the world so very quickly

To give you an update of where we are with our program on zero carbon buildings wall bank has been working on several layers of trying to introduce green buildings around the world one of the ways that we are looking at the green buildings of Zero Carbon buildings

Is coming up with business as well as investment opportunities and bringing the banking sector to the game and that’s really really important for us to enable financing that can be diverted towards green buildings and Zero Carbon buildings and that’s really important to enable central banks as well as local country banks to

Support these initiatives we published reports on investment opportunities and been continuing we are going to publish another report this fall for cop 24 to explain our position on green buildings and zero building and zero carbon buildings the way that we are tackling the market is from multi-pronged so

Working with their investment and policy services for the banks and because we really believe that banks can play a big role in in this we also offer edge certification and education system that enables even low income housing or low income projects to get certified unrecognized and through the edge

Certification we are introducing Cirro commons education as well and we also do other investments direct investments in our clients we already have clients I see clients that they are committed to become zero carbon by 2030 also we do incentives and codes with governments to ensure that they can direct those

Incentives towards a greener movement in the buildings and building sector edge program looks at three elements we offer free online application that people they can use to verify their projects and our app already have a zero carbon built into the app and projects can very finances with with our application they

Set up a minimum standard of 20% saving and there’s a certification network that they forwards certification third-party verification around the world this education partners that we have already they are spread all around the world and if you see that we have in Africa in Asia in Latin America and we are very

Excited to see that the momentum is building up rapidly towards zero carbon we already have clients in Philippines and ad saying Europe that they they want to certify but with zero carbon and you’re like hold on we will certify you very soon so we want to be able to bring them all and

Possibly this fall to announce it through our announcements and some know that we have the way that we do deal with with specification is not only for high-end buildings we try to bring you know this is a social housing in Argentina that was certified and runs a

Lot on solar and we want to bring these kind of low income and affordable homes also today’s game to enable the scale global scale what we are doing on digital carbon next week on Monday at 16 we are going to announce with an email to all our users

And customers our approach to zero carbon building we will be having another baby now along with the event that is happening in the New York on September 26 to inform all our users and the webinar would be open for all to to mention exactly the process that we are

Providing it was going to be later on some others how we are taking in green zero carbon buildings as previously mentioned we have said the 40% saving as the minimum saving outside and then the rest of the offset can happen by offsites renewable energy or burka by

Carbon offsets that’s our process we are hoping that we can bring all the players together as we are here on this call to be able to move the market through a zero carbon buildings by 2030 for new buildings and by 2050 for all existing buildings as well as new buildings watch

Out for our reports that are coming out this fall and we would we would continue working together it’s pleasure to be here thank you I’m going to hand it over to my dear friend Elizabeth collector in Kenya hello Thank You Amit I’m now looking at its elizabeth chugga here and

I’m now looking at what Net Zero Carbon buildings are and what it means to Kenya so I’ll take this opportunity to take a step back and celebrate especially under this initiative that we have their definition that we can actually use for the initiative because that was one of

The things that we realized was creating a bit of slowness to get especially in Kenya and the region the countries on board and the different institutions will board towards zero carbon buildings the first initial thoughts were it was very foreign until we looked the Kenyan greed first of all and I’m

Sharing this light to show that with net zero carbon building portfolio or Net Zero Carbon district where we start looking at what the energy greed has for from Kenya and at the moment there’s ninety percent dispatched renewable energy into the grid so by looking at this definition we quickly saw that

There is no reason for Kenyan not to come on board onto the initiative and there’s been very strong interest and also you might be aware that Kenya on the big four agenda that was set up by a president one of the aspects is affordable housing so I’ll concentrate

More on affordable housing and low-cost housing towards also having zero carbon buildings and thank you – Omid for showing that edge can also be used for such buildings because it’s one of the things we’ve been advocating for so it doesn’t note at the bottom of that slide you’ll see embedded carbon is not

Included in the zero carbon buildings for all commitment but can be included by governments so that is definitely one of the things that Kenya is also looking at and will be responding to another item just as a place setting on this is that Kenya has a deficit of two million

Houses in total every year we have an additional two hundred thousand deficit added to that so we’ve seen an opportunity to have a drastic buildup of housing and this is a great opportunity to have them as Net Zero Carbon buildings another aspect to note is that the climate in Kenya allows for passive

Design and the opportunity here with having the portfolio or district Net Zero Carbon allows for designers to step back and look at spatial planning that will enhance next zero carbon buildings from the passive element and then we look at our at our source of energy which is highly from renewable sources

And also we move on to education on use of energy lastly I’d like to mention that there’s a promise of building 500,000 houses with a hundred thousand of those going to for affordable housing low cost housing or most vulnerable house and people in the urban centers now another

Item I’d like to mention on this slide is that Kenya pronounced its first national housing policy in 2004 which recognized the adoption and promotion of environmentally-friendly building materials and technologies so already many years back a lot of the place setting policies we’re in place however we haven’t seen a lot of take-up and

This initiative gives a fantastic opportunity to slingshot forward in this discussions we’ll have quite a few more people 100 million more people will be urban poor due to climate change so the view from Kenya is looking at this affordable housing and actually responding to that and providing Zero

Carbon affordable housing on that basis so my focus today will be how we actually communicate and have ease of use of what energy is being used in these buildings because that’s the definition of zero carbon in this situation so for example here we’ve got an an image from a typical house this is

Actually from South Africa because when close coordination with the country as well and this is actually available on an a smart phone and what we note that is that the people actually using the building and using the electricity note how good their energy use is and from

What sources and by doing this what Kenya is trying to do is actually showcase that even if we have zero carbon buildings we still have to have the human behavior element attached to it especially when we are talking about 500,000 additional houses to be built so

More of the panel title and I’d like to highlight some of us the power used here so I’d like to highlight the stove element in Kenya we’re looking at actually the electricity used in buildings especially the houses we’ve noted that energy consumption in inner in the houses has

Been increasing so the opportunity is on the research side of things we know also noted that a lot of the fossil fuel use was actually in used in cooking for example and this links to human behavior so the opportunity here that the Ministry of Energy saw was to actually

Get people back onto electric use of cooking and this is where we saw the urgency to have a way of monitoring and especially that well if we have the 90 percent renewable energy connected to their homes and we put people back onto electric cooking then we need to monitor

How how it energy is used the guys out there that’s indicated there’s a lotta has been passed in Kenya that solar hot water must be used in the houses and we’re now facing out the use of electricity but at the same time we’ve seen even in industrial buildings that

The use of the gazers has to be captured so for the policies that are created there’s a national policy and now we’re moving on to the county policies as well which will be contextualized by the use of energy and this is such a screen that is also made available for the use of

The energy itself another way with that we would like to show here in Kenya is they’re easy to access and confirm opportunity so on a daily basis we have an opportunity to actually showcase the users of the building’s how they’re using the power this might sound quite quite basic at

The point of discussing zero carbon buildings but one thing we realized that to move the masses to the zero-carbon buildings we need to go back and actually communicate and educate and by empowering the people with such technology in their hands then there’s greater opportunity to actually realize the true zero-carbon buildings

With energy efficiency use because we’ve also seen that human behavior allows people to actually think that because they have renewable energy or their zero-coupon they can use a little bit more power so that’s one of the works were doing we’re linking this in this slide here shows that Kenya is linking

This to the initiative that for the climate action summit which is building the climate resilience of the urban poor and one of the main components and outcomes is actually human settlements which we are linking to this zero carbon building initiative lastly I’d like to add that education capacity building

Research is necessary towards this initiative and we look forward to supporting it throughout the climate action summit and beyond thank you very much so I’d like to pass on to back to Emma to take over the screen and close us out thank you thank you Elizabeth

Very much and thank you also to Victoria and to omid for joining us today as you can tell this is a significant collective effort and one but we’ve been very pleased to work in with multiple chefs in the same kitchen cooking the same recipes and have great hopes for

The future and how we will jointly implement in the various parts of the world that we see most in need and where the political will is sufficient to to step up and work with us with that I’ll turn it over to Shannon who is curating

And running our QA to invite a number of questions from the audience today I want to start just by reiterating something and maybe starting off with the most obvious follow-on which is probably to Emma which is you know for an organization or company thinking about whether or not

This initiative is right for them where would you suggest they start can you say anything more about next steps and who and what kinds of organizations the initiative is is intended for of course so this will be launched officially at the UN climate action summit hosted by the secretary-general but we are happy

To field interest before then as I noted we have a member of signatories already and then of course those that have signed on to the advancing net zero commitment Wyatt world Green Building Council so the the commitment is open to national governments city and corporate entities again by the world Green Building

Council financial institutions those can be public multilateral institutions those can also be private banks and as I noted each statement of intent depending upon the nature of your entity is slightly different as to what we asked of you and I would point you to the website that goes into a bit more detail

On that and also includes a link to the commitment language so that you can choose to to sign on the dotted line though in some instances we would recommend a back and forth with your entity and our initiatives and some of that commitment language is malleable if

Need be we have found that for ministries within certain countries or for certain financial institutions there’s a request to slightly amend the commitment language either for purely legal reasons or linguistic reasons or more so than his reasons so we invited back and forth with our partnership in order

To ensure that you can sign on and feel comfortable with delivering on your commitments thanks I’m a great the next question that I want to direct is to probably would make sense to start let’s say perhaps with Elizabeth but I think it makes sense for every panelist to answer

It as you see fit which is a question around how does everyone envision their zero-carbon buildings work developing in terms of global engagement will are there thoughts around cop 26 what will the future of representing zero-carbon buildings look like obviously the plans are not fully in place yet but if anyone

Would like to say anything about about that aspect and how this will continue to be featured at at global events in the future hi Altec I’ll take the first question thank you very much the way we envision it is definitely because the climate action summit links to NDC enhancement

So the opportunity with this work is to actually have an urban observatory so that we have opportunity to do research on baseline data from buildings and look for opportunity towards further research so that we can enhance our national climate action plan on the human settlements the buildings as well that’s

One of the aspects and also we as speaking on behalf of Kenya Green Building Society which is a chapter of the while Green Valley Council is input towards green buildings there as well so that we can start capturing data that we can share on the amount of carbon

Mitigated and also enhance on the opportunity of any any carbon mitigated through the building’s the materials as well and not just stop at energy efficiency use it’s also how we construct the buildings thank you thanks Elizabeth would anyone else like to weigh in on the global engagement

Question happy Victoria and I made for you to do so this is and I’ll just chime in to add to Elizabeth’s excellent response which is the implementation phase which will be multiple years of support for those committing to the initiative we’ll have a number of in-person meetings where we will try to

Piggyback on existing events cops being a wonderful example and to Elizabeth’s point the next ratchet of NDC’s in 2020 is a prime opportunity window for this initiative to showcase what the building sector can do to elevate the level of ambition within 2020 NBC’s and so we’re

Open to working with those who sign on in running quantitative analyses to see what is what is feasible in terms of aggregate emission reductions from building sector for their country in order for them to gain the confidence to write that into their NDC’s as we work in parallel with them on formulating and

Shaping the domestic policies that they’ll want to put into place to ensure that those NBC commitments are met so long story short we will be at a number of these events likely hosting meetings on the side in addition to hosting of course workshops and trainings capacity-building events within the

Countries that has committed so this is only the eye I may just ask you a few simple elements to this you know through our events at the World Bank a nice baby way to engage with muncipal stakeholders governments recently we had commitment from the finance ministers of around 70 countries

To climate and climate action and what we are trying to do trying to bring buildings more and more to their attention as well as zero carbon buildings and we also working with the banking networks global banking net force as well as a global alliance for building and construction so in

Different forums we are bringing this up and whenever we talk about buildings to Britain to enable higher collaboration and my understanding of our member countries as well as the private sector for us the private sector is really important and the interesting thing is that we see much higher interest from

Private sector than from government and we see the private sector is moving with much more ambitious plans and targets and that’s really encouraging because they set good examples in every every country and help others who follow I stopped here yeah I mean I would this is Victoria from welcoming Building Council

I would really second that I think the the private sector has all the tools in their arm to deliver Net Zero Carbon buildings now you know we know what the technical solutions are am i seeing the buildings pop up all over the world and so the secret to unlocking that potential is

Now to trigger that demand through regulation and policy and sort of really raised that ambition level but I think you know we’re all agreed and hopefully as Emma says we can see in the future more being incorporated into the NDC’s around this dramatic shift to building to much higher standards of energy

Efficiency and access to renewable energy you know those as real mental principals in this challenge will really help us go a long way and so particularly using events and platforms like cop like the global climate vote the UN climate action summit and all the various events industry sector events that are

Happening over the next few months in the next few years that will be a really important platform to help communicate this ambition and show that people are more comfortable with elevating those and taking further action thank you all that was a great set of answers the next

One is perhaps a little bit more challenging and maybe we can start with Victoria or Emma on this since I know that it’s been an ongoing conversation but can you say a little bit more about the use of offsets and how the initiative is making decisions and integrating ideas around the extent to

Which offsets are part of an zero carbon building or platform sure I can perhaps go first and then hand it up to you Victoria this is Emma offsets are included in the commitment as a qualifying pathway to achieve Net Zero Carbon buildings districts portfolios that’s for a number of

Reasons we do emphasize that they are the end of last resort that the preferred pathway is by maximizing energy efficiency secondarily on-site renewables tertiary off-site renewables and then lastly offsets we do anticipate that as the cost curves of things like renewables continue to improve that the attractiveness of offsets will

Subsequently decline and buildings will become less reliant on offsets if indeed they do choose to go that route we will resource this institute know all of the pros and cons of offsets quite intimately and even within our own staff enjoy a healthy debate on the subject but given the ambition level of this

Initiative we felt that all options for high quality carbon reductions needed to be on the table to make this achievable especially in lower-income countries so we have included it but with significant guidance just as I have IFC provides significant guidance on the nature of offsetting Victoria absolutely are we we

Take exactly the same for each Emma and the the infographic that we have that kind of sets out our vision includes the principles that underpin our framework for advancing Net Zero that our bring Building Council’s established following cuts into one and we took that approach

To that that offset should be used as a last resort in some strategies to achieve net zero emissions that some organizations may be reliant on them but we certainly don’t encourage that as as a route to compliance sort of achieving a net zero emissions strategy and in

In the sort of dates that we talk about the 2030 and 2050 and as I would echo that the market would probably drive that out as a compelling solution to you a NetZero strategy and so focusing on decarbonisation and decarbonizing energy grids would help reduce the need for

Carbon offsetting some of the Green Building Council programs around zero carbon buildings such as the one in Canada the zero carbon building program and has a requirement for a zero carbon transition process or a transition plan if you do rely on fossil fuels so that your your reliance on offsets can be

Minimized down the track and in some markets they’re simply not permitted under certification so it really depends on that on the specific market but I’m but we do have some best practice guidance for that in the detail guidance and some of the the systems of the schemes that can help ensure that if

Upset if offsets is an option that it’s conducted in in the best way possible so maybe maybe I’ll just add very quickly to this note you know one element is that we have to have fun solutions that can work in every situation and in every country in every city you know being a

Perfectionist is good you know obviously the the ideal world is that every single building would be energy positive if they produce enough energy and they export it extra energy to the streets and you know we have designed these buildings 10-15 years ago that they can even supply to the to the National Grid

So that creates can use the the building’s energy however being idealistic and not saying the facts on the ground may not lead us to a solution so that’s where we feel that we have to bring a solution that if you’re in the city or in the center of Mumbai

High-rise building that’s a very limited area for renewable energy you can still try to be efficient and then try to offset your carbon with the hope that you’re offsetting carbon which feed into renewable energy at some point and that renewable energy can’t and bring back the supplies you’re building so that

Your building can run on renewable energy is efficient and that’s the that’s the main goal at the end of the day and is important to provide solutions to the clients that they can supply and they can apply and make it happen and with that mindset carbon
