Net Zero Carbon Buildings Instrument Database
This searchable database from the Cities Climate Finance Leadership Alliance offers decision-makers helpful tools to guide implementation of net-zero building approaches.
Achieving net zero carbon buildings is crucial for cities to reduce emissions and keep the world on track to limit global warming.
