Launch - 2022 Global Status Report for Buildings and Construction - Online Press Conference

Online

The 2022 Global Status Report for Buildings and Construction (2022 Buildings-GSR) will be launched on Wednesday, 9 November 2022, 13:00-14:00 CET. The launch is a stand-alone, online press event, exclusively open to GlobalABC members and the press. For information on how to join, contact us at [email protected].

The Buildings-GSR provides an annual snapshot of the progress of the buildings and construction sector on a global scale and reviews the status of policies, finance, technologies, and solutions to monitor whether the sector is aligned with the Paris Agreement goals. The Buildings-GSR also provides stakeholders with evidence to persuade policymakers and the overall buildings and construction community to take action.

We will be presenting key insights on:

  • Overall emissions and energy
  • The Global Buildings Climate Tracker
  • Certifications, codes, NDCs
  • Disruptive trends in light of the current energy crisis
  • Deep dive on buildings trends in Africa
  • Deep dive on materials
