On September 3, 2016 China ratified the historic Paris Agreement on climate change and committed to taking a global leadership role in addressing this crisis. President Xi Jinping vowed to “unwaveringly pursue sustainable development” in China and stated “Our response to climate change bears on the future of our people and the well-being of mankind”.

China is currently urbanizing at a rate unmatched in human history. Over the next few decades, China will build 1.5-2.5 billion sqm new buildings annually as China’s urban population grows by about 350 million people. Today, buildings account for about 30% of China’s greenhouse gas emissions, but this is projected to increase rapidly as more people move into cities to find work.

To meet the commitment of Paris agreement, this Forum event will establish that Zero Net Carbon (ZNC) building design is essential and achievable for dramatically reducing GHG emissions in the building sector. Top practitioners will present the transformative principles and practices that make ZNC buildings possible.
