The Building Green global dataset collects data on building energy codes and standards applicable to new and existing buildings, as well as their enforcement mechanisms and levels of compliance. The dataset is produced by the Global Indicators Group (DECIG), sponsored by the Knowledge for Change Program Trust Fund.
GENERAL INQUIRIES
As climate negotiations at COP29 in Azerbaijan draw to a close, the building sector stands at a critical juncture. Buildings account for 34% of global CO2 emissions, making them a central battleground in our fight against climate change. The challenge is particularly urgent in rapidly urbanizing regions, where unprecedented construction activity risks locking in decades of excessive energy consumption.
