 In 2020, the World Green Building Council (WorldGBC) reported that more than 3.5 billion square metres of green building space have been certified by green building rating tools administered by GBCs, an incredible rise of 1,000 percent from 2010 levels. These sustainability-centric schemes and programmes are pivotal to the transformation of the built environment, encouraging and accelerating the design, construction and operation of greener buildings. The SGBC Regional Green Building Webinar Series aims to help industry professionals learn more about the various green building standards in the region and how they have helped to transform the built environment in their respective countries. The first session will shine the spotlight on the unique context and green efforts of Australia and its built environment sector, which has been consistently ranked among the top global leaders in sustainability. Often referred to as ‘the lucky country’, Australia is often recognised for its abundant natural resources, favourable weather and good-natured people. With the impact of climate change, however, it could be seen through a much different lens. Floods, fires and droughts are common and the impacts are significant and far-reaching. As a result, there is strong conscious recognition that more needs to be done to predict and prepare for these impacts. This extends to the Australian property market where industry leaders have worked together to create and support a common vision for a sustainable property market in Australia. Hear from the Green Building Council of Australia (GBCA) and Frasers Property Industrial as they discuss the state of the sustainable property movement in Australia and how the Green Star has been evolving to meet the needs of the Australian property sector.
