European cities target net-zero carbon buildings by 2050
A coalition of eight European cities – including Madrid, Wroclaw, and Leeds – have pledged to completely decarbonise their existing building stocks by 2050. EURACTIV’s media partner edie.net reports.
The commitment is called Build Upon2 and is being convened by the World Green Building Council (WGBC).
It will see the cities collaboratively develop and implement a built environment renovation and retrofitting framework aimed at boosting residents’ well-being and local economies while dramatically reducing carbon emissions across all Scopes.
