environment is responsible for half of global resource use and even if we fully decarbonise tomorrow, we will only remove 55% of the source of GHG emissions. The other 45% comes from the production and consumption of resources and materials, which can only be achieved through a circular economy (view further resources from the</span><a href="https://ellenmacarthurfoundation.org/completing-the-picture"><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Ellen Macarthur Foundation).</span></a></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">WorldGBC recognises the circular economy as key to the world transitioning to an existence which is kept within planetary boundaries, as well as regenerating natural systems. For the built environment, this should be implemented through the following four principles: </span></p> <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Reduction in consumption of materials and resources</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Optimisation of lifespan for material and product use</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Design for reuse and the elimination of waste</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Regeneration of nature.</span></li> </ul> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">That’s why WorldGBC’s Circularity Accelerator programme convenes our network of over 75 Green Building Councils (GBCs) and their 46,000 members to work towards our circularity and resource efficiency goals. This global programme aspires to create a built environment with net zero whole life resource depletion, working towards the restoration of resources and natural systems within a thriving circular economy, in line with the ambitions of the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals and the Paris Agreement.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">WorldGBC and our partners are committed to working towards a circular future for the building and construction sector, which will require transformative action from all stages of the built environment value chain. In order to facilitate this cross-sector collaboration, the Circularity Accelerator programme is leading the creation and distribution of technical knowledge on the circular economy, championing the wider recognition of the topic through thought leadership, actively upskilling our global network and wider industry through training and education, and supporting regulatory strengthening through political advocacy and through the GBCs deployment of rating tools. </span></p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </section> </div> </div> </div> <div class="accordionSection theme-sage"> <div class="accordion-item"> <div class="accordion-header collapsed" id="wgbcPanel-headingd821666f8348443f0b5e4aaeae3bdbe2" data-bs-toggle="collapse" data-bs-target="#wgbcPanel-paneld821666f8348443f0b5e4aaeae3bdbe2" aria-expanded="true" aria-controls="wgbcPanel-paneld821666f8348443f0b5e4aaeae3bdbe2"> <div class="wrapper container-fluid b-content_section"> <div class="row"> <div class="col-sm-12 col-lg-10 offset-lg-1"> <div class="header-wrapper"> <h2 data-aos="fade-up">Resources</h2> <div class="icon-wrapper"> <span class="icon"></span> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div id="wgbcPanel-paneld821666f8348443f0b5e4aaeae3bdbe2" class="accordion-collapse collapse" aria-labelledby="wgbcPanel-headingd821666f8348443f0b5e4aaeae3bdbe2"> <section class="c-section c-section--content_section theme-sage type-default padding-bottom"> <div class="wrapper container-fluid b-content_section"> <div class="row"> <div class="col-sm-12 col-lg-10 offset-lg-1"> <div class="content " data-aos="fade-up" data-aos-offset="300"><h2><b>The Circular Environment Playbook</b><b> </b></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The ‘Circular Built Environment Playbook’ report, launched by WorldGBC in May 2023, presents market-leading circular principles and strategies in action, calling on the building and construction sector to accelerate the implementation of circular and regenerative principles. </span><a href="https://worldgbc.org/article/circular-built-environment-playbook/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Find out more</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span></p> <h2><b>Towards a Circular Economy in the Built Environment</b></h2> <p><a href="https://www.circularbuildingscoalition.org"><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Circular Buildings Coalition has released a report called ‘Towards a Circular Economy in the Built Environment’</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, which examines the systemic challenges to accelerating the circular transition in the construction sector in Europe, and what can be done to overcome them.</span></p> <p> </p> <h2><strong>Building a Water-Resilient Future</strong></h2> <p>The ‘<a href="https://worldgbc.org/article/water-paper/">Building a Water-Resilient Future</a>‘ was launched by WorldGBC on 15 November.

The past can teach us a lot about circularity – and not always what you expect</b></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“It is easy to feel like you’re going round in circles when talking about a circular built environment. Isn’t it somehow contradictory to design buildings for the longest life possible, while also ensuring that they can be disassembled when they become obsolete? Or to propose that the future lies with modular systems, when the past tells us that long-span structures tend to be easier to adapt and reuse? Or to call for “loose fit” buildings when they usually need more structural materials, increasing their embodied carbon?” </span><a href="https://worldgbc.org/article/wsp-cablog/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Find out more</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> on how WSP reflects on these questions. </span><b></b></p> <p><b>3.

Finding solutions upstream to create added value for businesses and communities rather than solutions to dispose of materials at the end of life, requires connecting stakeholders through the lifecycle of a project and having a plan for what will happen at the building’s end of life. </span><b></b></p> <p><b>4.
