IDFC’s Green Buildings cooperation was launched at COP26 and is already underway in 2022 with a series of knowledge sharing events. PEEB conducted a first session on March 24th where development banks from Africa, Latin America and Europe shared their experience implementing successful green buildings projects and discussed barriers and opportunities to scale up investments.
A follow-up session on green buildings criteria and mainstreaming tools will take place on June 2nd followed in July by an expert-led workshop on how to mobilise Green Climate Fund support. Later this year, IDFC’s Green Buildings Cooperation will partner up with the GlobalABC for two webinars on the role of development banks in accelerating climate adaptation as well as on embodied carbon and circular economy.
