The COP28 Buildings Pavilion is hosted by the Global Alliance for Buildings and Construction (GlobalABC). Located in Blue Zone, Zone B7, Building 88, Level 1, Pavilion 240, the COP28 Buildings Pavilion is sharing the same space with the Business Pavilion hosted by the We Mean Business Coalition. 

Following the success at previous COPs, the Buildings Pavilion at COP28 will once again be a space for businesses and policymakers to interact, a meeting place for the buildings and construction community, and a space to showcase solutions through events, presentations, exhibitions, etc. 

The COP28 Buildings Pavilion aims to be a centre of gravity for the buildings and construction sector to take stock of progress made since COP21 and showcase buildings as solutions for climate action. The Buildings Pavilion will unite all stakeholders along the built environment value chain as one voice towards achieving building decarbonization and resilience. 

From 2 to 10 December, 15 events will take place in the Buildings Pavilion, in line with the daily themes interconnected with the COP27 Presidency and Marrakech Partnership for Global Climate Action (MPGCA) agendas. All the events will be livestreamed. 

This year, our tagline is "Building our future". The Buildings Pavilion's daily themes and their related events are as follows. All event times are in Gulf Standard Time.
