NET ZERO TODAY,
CLIMATE POSITIVE
TOMORROW

5 – 7 NOVEMBER 2024

CENTURY CITY CONFERENCE CENTRE






GETTING DOWN TO ZERO+

Our constructed surroundings play a critical role in the worldwide battle
against climate change, accounting for 38% of all carbon emissions, both in
terms of construction and ongoing operations. These environments shape our
living, learning, working, and recreational spaces, significantly affecting
individual and community health, quality of life, and well-being. Thus, while
the built environment poses significant challenges in the context of the climate
emergency, it also offers substantial opportunities for intervention and
positive change.

Every year, the Green Building Convention’s mission is to step up – marking our
green building journey in Africa with purpose and impact. Our 2024 theme, Zero+:
Net Zero Today, Climate Positive Tomorrow, reflects our commitment to achieving
net zero emissions by 2050. More importantly, it emphasises the need for our
built environment to have a positive, regenerative impact that extends beyond
meeting these targets. It’s a call for us to go the extra mile, to be proactive,
and to transform our built environment into a force for good in the battle
against climate change.

Lisa Reynolds
Chief Executive Officer
Green Building Council
South Africa


NET ZERO IS A MILESTONE, BUT CLIMATE POSITIVITY IS THE VISION.



While net zero by 2050 and emissions reductions by 2030 are clear goals, we must
transition from doing “less bad” to actively “doing more good”. The Zero+
Convention aims to explore, define, and drive the concept of climate positivity
as the ultimate goal for the built environment.

 

Beyond 2050, we must actively remove more greenhouse gasses than we release. The
convention will explore strategies, technologies, and initiatives leading us
toward this ambitious objective. By engaging with thought leaders, industry
experts, and innovators, this Convention will chart the course for a
sustainable, regenerative, and climate-positive future. 

I invite you to join us on this journey to Zero+ with the 17th Green Building
Convention as a critical marker in our collaborative efforts to transform the
built environment to be sustainable, climate-resistant and regenerative.
