Learn more Carbon offsetting and pricing Expand or collapse a sub menu Carbon offsetting and pricing UKGBC is empowering industry to make informed and responsible decisions on carbon offsetting routes that support the shift towards a net zero built environment. Learn more Commercial Retrofit Expand or collapse a sub menu Commercial Retrofit Energy required to heat, power and operate commercial buildings accounts for nearly a quarter of the built environment’s carbon footprint in the UK. Significant improvements in energy efficiency must be accelerated across all sectors. To address this challenge, UKGBC is working with a team of industry experts to accelerate the delivery of commercial retrofit programmes. Learn more Embodied Carbon Expand or collapse a sub menu Embodied Carbon Embodied carbon from the construction and refurbishment of buildings currently makes up 20% of UK built environment emissions. UKGBC’s Advancing Net Zero team is working with experts across the industry to change this. Learn more Home Retrofit Expand or collapse a sub menu Home Retrofit With time running out to keep global temperatures to 1.5 degrees, upgrading the nation’s homes is one of the biggest opportunities the UK has to reduce carbon emissions whilst tackling the cost-of-living crisis, energy security and levelling up. Learn more Net Zero Carbon Buildings Framework Expand or collapse a sub menu Net Zero Carbon Buildings Framework UKGBC published the Net Zero Carbon Buildings Framework Definition in 2019 to provide the industry with clarity on the definition of net zero carbon buildings.

Learn more Circular Economy and Nature Expand or collapse a sub menu Circular Economy and Nature The over extraction of resources is one of the prime threats to nature. Following COP15 and the Kunming Montreal agreement, it’s crucial that more than ever we hold nature centrally in all our work. Learn more Circular Economy Forum Expand or collapse a sub menu Circular Economy Forum UKGBC is bringing together construction clients and project teams who are applying circular principles on live projects and are looking to share challenges and solutions. Learn more Circular Economy The built environment needs to move away from the take-make-waste economy. For a sustainable future, a regenerative, circular economy that rewards the reuse of finite materials and resources must take its place.

Learn more Climate Change Adaptation As the climate crisis intensifies and extreme weather events become more common, the UK’s buildings, cities and critical infrastructure, and the communities that use and occupy these, are in increasing danger. It’s vital to address how our buildings and infrastructure can be adapted to remain fit for the future. Learn more Nature Nature is in crisis.  The built environment has a critical role to play in protecting and restoring nature and moving to a regenerative model of development. Learn more Resource Use In the UK, construction, demolition and excavation account for 60% of material use and waste generation. Meanwhile, prices of construction materials in the UK rose by 4.9% between 2017 and 2018. Adopting circular economy principles offers a €1.8 trillion opportunity to the EU between 2015 and 2030.    Learn more Health, Wellbeing and Social Value UKGBC believes that a sustainable built environment must help and support people and communities to thrive. Learn more Home Retrofit With time running out to keep global temperatures to 1.5 degrees, upgrading the nation’s homes is one of the biggest opportunities the UK has to reduce carbon emissions whilst tackling the cost-of-living crisis, energy security and levelling up. Learn more Systems Change Our approach to addressing the climate emergency is falling short. We need radical transformation of the systems we operate within to achieve not only a sustainable built environment, but one that positively restores and revitalises the world around us. We must challenge our assumptions and business-as-usual practices, and enable a dramatic paradigm shift that reconciles humans and the rest of nature.
