Whole-System Zero-Emissions Demonstration: China’s Vision on Future Green Urbanization

This report introduces a new concept — Whole-System Zero-Emissions Demonstration (WS-ZED). The WS-ZED concept goes one step further than net-zero carbon and proposes a broader concept to reveal the added value of synergy among net-zero carbon, net-zero waste, and net-zero pollution. This new concept aims to resolve these growth challenges by adopting a holistic approach to put in place urban management policies to combat both climate change and environmental degradation.

2019 Global Status Report for Buildings and Construction

Global Alliance for Buildings and Construction (GlobalABC), United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP)
The Global Status Report series tracks progress made towards sustainability in the buildings and construction sector. This 2019 edition shows that the sector is not on track with the level of climate action necessary. On the contrary, final energy demand in buildings in 2018 rose 1 percent from 2017, and 7 percent from 2010. It provides examples of country, city, and private sector actions as well as examples of how the buildings and construction sector is reforming. In addition, through a series of regional roadmaps, it highlights regionally appropriate actions across eight priority areas.

Fiji Low Emission Development Strategy 2018-2050

Organisation: 
Global Green Growth Institute (GGGI)
Country: 
Fiji
Fiji is highly vulnerable to climate change due to its position as a Small Developing State (SIDS), which leaves the country exposed to sea-level rise, cyclones of increasing intensity, and flooding, among other potential consequences. It is therefore imperative to take ambitious and rapid action to address climate change through GHG emission reductions. The Fiji Low Emission Development Strategy (LEDS) 2018-2050 is a living document compiled in 201 to define pathways to achieve low emission development in Fiji until 2050.
