Produced by the joint effort of U.K.'s Building Research Establishment, the Green Building Council of Australia , the Singapore Green Building Council, the U.S. Green Building Council, the paper 'Building transition: financing market transformation', explores strategies to scale action in the building sector, focusing on the need to improve existing buildings to meet future sustainability goals. 

It emphasises the importance of directing capital to the mass market, which includes not just top-performing but also average and low performing buildings. 

Key areas discussed include: developing better taxonomies to support inclusive transition, defining credible decarbonisation pathways for buildings, and addressing climate change risks to prevent buildings from becoming stranded assets. 

The paper intentionally excludes key topics like circularity, health and biodiversity to prioritise actionable transition strategies.
