Ngokusho kukaChristina Gamboa, inhloko yeqembu I-World Green Building Council:
“Winning the Race to Zero means prioritising net zero buildings, infrastructure and cities. By working together, businesses and governments can help our sector ensure a safe and prosperous future for everyone, everywhere.”
UKGBC is proud to be an Accelerator to the Race to Zero calling for our members join and create meaningful action to tackle the climate crisis. UKGBC updated our member requirements in May 2021, mandating all 60+ of our Gold Leaf member to join the Race and strongly advocating for other members to do the same.

We believe the momentum shown in the recent successes of the Race to Zero campaign demonstrates real promise for the future of our built environment. With the built environment being responsible for 40% of greenhouse gas emissions worldwide, it is clear that we must act now to achieve net zero. Ukubhalisela umjaho kukhombisa ukuzibophezela okucacile nesenzo samabomu esingakaze sidingeke kakhulu njengoba sibheke ezinqubweni ze-COP26 eziqala ngalo Msombuluko.
