"It's time to stop fighting over how to create a decarbonised version of the late 20th century. It's time to work together to cultivate a 21st century society that will last us into the 22nd century."
Sustainability means building a vision of the future, together. As the first piece in our perspectives series, UKGBC’s Chief Executive reflects on what we’re working towards as a network, and the golden opportunity we can seize together. Read Smith's perspective here.

Extreme weather events intensifying across the globe present an urgent need to adapt our buildings, cities and communities to the impacts of the climate emergency.?
Across Autumn, UKGBC is hosting a series of events to discuss how built environment professionals can meet this challenge head-on, from the practical steps available to protect physical assets to optimising design for more frequent and severe weather.?
Newly appointed CEO, Smith Mordak, will chair a discussion of a senior expert panel to examine the localised context of climate resilience for Manchester, Bristol, London and Birmingham and introduce our ground-breaking project to develop a Resilience Roadmap for the UK.

Last month, UKGBC’s Advancing Net Zero team launched new guidance to empower industry to deliver an ambitious approach to carbon offsetting and associated carbon pricing that supports that shift towards net zero.
The report provides a step-by step process to enable real estate developers and investors to take a more holistic approach to ambitious carbon offsetting and encourages the wider adoption of internal carbon pricing as an additional and complimentary mechanism to accelerate decarbonisation. Download the guidance here.
