The World GBC fosters and supports new and emerging Green Building Councils by providing them with the tools and strategies to establish strong organizations and leadership positions in their countries.

Since 1999, The World GBC has been working closely with councils to advance common interests by promoting local green building actions and addressing global issues such as climate change. By driving collaboration between international bodies and increasing the profile of the green building market, the councils work to ensure that green buildings are a part of any comprehensive strategy to deliver carbon emission reductions.
