Major group affiliation:
  • Non-governmental organization
Involvement in UN Partnerships: Yes
If yes, explain in detail: The World Green Building Council has a Memorandum of Understanding with UNEP Sustainable Buildings and Climate Initiative (SBCI). Specifically, we have partnered on the development of a common method for measuring carbon emissions from buildings. This metric would facilitate the monetization of carbon, including Clean Development Mechanism projects, which would benefit developing economies.
