Roadmap to Zero Emissions

Roadmap to Zero Emissions proposes to establish guidelines for two key Building Sector initiatives: Roadmap 2050 and a Building Sector Financing Facility. Combined, these initiatives address the massive urbanization occurring worldwide over the next two decades, and provide a pathway with a high probability of keeping global average temperature increase under 2°C, peaking CO2 emissions in the Building Sector quickly, leading to zero CO2 emissions by mid-century. The initiatives are equitable and take common but differentiated responsibilities and capabilities into account by allowing each country to establish specific sector reduction targets according to its needs and capabilities, as well as providing a financial mechanism for developing countries to implement building sector strategies with appropriate levels of support.
