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. For cities to effectively scale up action on green buildings, though, they require knowledge of and access to a wide range of tools, policies, and financing instruments. The Cities Climate Finance Leadership Alliance aims to close this gap with this searchable database on policies and financial instruments that cities can draw from to strengthen their approaches.
