The Global Alliance for Buildings and Construction (GABC)
The GABC is a voluntary, international, multi-stakeholder partnership. It aims to serve as the global collaborative umbrella organisation for other platforms, initiatives and actors to create synergies between them, and increase scale, pace and impact of climate action towards decarbonisation of the buildings and construction sector in line with the Paris Agreement goals . To this end, the GABC works in parallel to address key challenges to transforming the buildings and construction sector so the sector can harness its mitigation and adaptation potential and materialise important other benefits, including health and adequacy of housing. The GABC promotes and works towards a zero-emission, efficient and resilient buildings and construction sector.
We have gained much visibility and support during our COP events. Our Global Status Report is very well received, and our Regional Roundtables are well visited and have much potential. We have increased our membership, strengthened our governance structure and received additional in-kind and financial support.
