When building codes ignore local climate, even well-intended designs can make indoor heat worse. Climate-responsive design isn’t new; it just needs to be recognized in policy. Next story in #COP30: Tailor to Transition series zurl.co/CiLqE

Promises don't Reduce Emissions - Policy Implementation Does | GBPN By: Dr Peter Graham When countries gather at COP30 in Belém, one question will hover behind every climate pledge: Can it actually be implemented? Promises don't reduce emissions.  Decarbonizing buildings requires ambitious policies, but more importantly it requires that they be implemented. When commitments are made,

Implementation drives impact. Strengthen training, finance signals and institutional alignment, and reforms become routine practice. How do everyday system improvements add up to durable #BuildingDecarbonization
