Watch this webinar to learn practical steps for designing zero carbon buildings using EDGE: a fast, easy, and more affordable way to build and brand green. The workshop is focusing on concrete actions that developers, investors, building owners, and policy makers can take to design, build, and operate carbon neutral buildings. Climate science informs us that all new buildings need to be zero carbon by 2030, while existing buildings will need to be retrofitted to be zero carbon by 2050.

Launched under the UN Secretary General’s Zero Carbon for All Initiative, EDGE Zero Carbon certification is a robust global standard for zero carbon, a step-by-step technical process, and an opportunity to utilize international green finance and technical assistance options to achieve zero carbon goals.

The workshop is co-promoted by a number of organizations, including: the Global Alliance for Buildings and Construction, World Resources Institute, Net Zero Asset Owners Alliance, CDP, GRESB, Architecture 2030, One Planet Network, Sustainable Hospitality Alliance, Program for Energy Efficiency in Buildings (PEEB), Business for Social Responsibility, CDC, as well as by the network of green building councils and EDGE certifiers, including: GBCI, SGS-Sintali, GBCCR, Jordan GBC, SuMe.
