Showcase your exemplary green buildings in our new case study library
Dear GBCs and Partners
Welcome to the August edition of the Global Update newsletter.
Last week, we announced the call for leading green building case studies to feature on a new interactive digital map-based case study library. A joint initiative between Advancing Net Zero (ANZ) and Better Places for People (BPFP), two of WorldGBC's global projects, this resource will be hosted on WorldGBC's website and launched in late 2019.
As a global network committed to achieving a sustainable built environment, WorldGBC recognises the continued market demand to share case studies of buildings that excel in key areas of sustainability and the role of green building certification schemes to provide third party assurance of this level of performance.
We therefore invite all member GBCs and partners to submit case studies, with additional input for those participating in WorldGBC’s global projects Advancing Net Zero and Better Places for People and we welcome GBCs to invite their members to participate. In addition, we have collaborated with some of our key partners to create a unique global platform, with special thanks to Delos, Integral Group and Saint-Gobain for supporting WorldGBC in developing this resource.
The first round of case study submissions can be made through the interactive form here until 30 September 2019. Following the launch at the end of 2019, applications for further case studies will re-open.
Annual General Meeting
I would also like to take this opportunity to remind our member GBCs to register for WorldGBC's Annual General Meeting, which will take place on Tuesday 27 August 2019 at 11:00 BST. Your GBC voting representative should have already received an email confirming the final agenda and information about the AGM - if not, please contact Alexis Dangel at adangel@worldgbc.org
I look forward to connecting with you and working together to advance our collective mission to achieve green buildings for everyone, everywhere.
Best wishes
Cristina Gamboa, CEO, World Green Building Council
