World Green Building Week

World Green Building Week (25 September – 1 October 2017) will bring together Green Building Councils and their members from around the world to create a public conversation about the role buildings play in our sustainable future.  This year’s theme is ‘Our Hero is Zero’, which has been chosen by WorldGBC to raise awareness of the ambition to make all buildings net zero by 2050.

#OurHeroIsZero

World Green Building Week is an annual event that empowers the global green building community to deliver green buildings for everyone, everywhere. Buildings can be heroes in the fight against climate change – and so can you.

With dozens of countries taking part, and hundreds of events worldwide, it’s the biggest and best opportunity each year for us to shine the spotlight on our global movement. By working together in the same week, our message is louder, demonstrates our global diversity and emphasises our collective mission to create sustainable built environments.
