Description
At COP26, the Glasgow Breakthrough agenda was launched with considerable success and attention, aiming at strengthening international collaboration on the decarbonisation of high-emitting sectors (Transport, Power, Hydrogen, Steel, Agriculture). The Breakthrough agenda rallied 45 countries and ca. 70 per cent of global GDP. Despite being a heavyweight for climate action (around 37 per cent of CO2 emissions and over 34 per cent of global final energy demand come from buildings and construction), a Buildings Breakthrough however was not part of this agenda.
At the Bonn Climate Change Conference in June 2022, France through the French Climate Change Ambassador Mr Stephane Crouzat announced that France will co-lead a new Buildings Breakthrough Target through the Ministry of Ecological Transition in France and in collaboration with the Ministry of National Territory and Urban Planning, Housing, and City Policy of the Kingdom of Morocco and alongside other willing governments. France and Morocco through senior-level representatives reaffirmed this at the 13th Clean Energy Ministerial and 7th Mission Innovation (CEM13/MI7) ministerial and the 2022 UN General Assembly (the latter via the French Secretary of State for Ecology).
At the COP27 Breakthrough Agenda Ministerial on 11 November 2022, France and the Kingdom of Morocco reaffirmed their co-leadership of the Buildings Breakthrough, with the support of the GlobalABC, while the UK and Germany expressed their support. Stéphane Crouzat, French Climate Ambassador, made a call to action for the Buildings Breakthrough, and invited all countries to join the call at the Buildings Pavilion on 17 November 2022.
The objective of this event is to:
- Highlight the need for a Buildings breakthrough as rallying point for countries especially.
- Issue an official call to all countries to join the Buildings Breakthrough target
- Invite relevant initiatives to support the Buildings Breakthrough Target
