Article summary

The UK Green Building Council (UKGBC) has published its 2022/23 Annual Operating Plan and unveiled a new ‘2025 Strategy’ which sets out a shared industry ambition and industry targets to help tackle the climate emergency. The strategy also incorporates science-based data modelling, originally conducted for its 2021 ‘Whole Life Net Zero Carbon Roadmap’, to highlight shared industry targets that have yet to be developed for both climate resilience and environmental net gain. The UKGBC states that ‘the science is clear’, and stresses that ‘we must halve emissions by 2030 if we’re to stand a chance of maintaining a 1.5ºC temperature increase, so it’s the near-term targets and actions that matter the most. Quite simply, we have to go further, faster, now’.
