đŸ‡§đŸ‡·: Da vibrante dança do funk vogue do @imperadoresdadanca Ă  inspiração das vozes e ativistas que moldam o futuro climĂĄtico do Brasil, o primeiro dia da #TheRealityTour no Rio nos deixou na ponta da cadeira. Nossa anfitriĂŁ, a atriz e ativista Maria Silva, manteve o ritmo enquanto mais de 800 lĂ­deres se reuniam para aprender, se conectar e sonhar alto. As lĂ­deres indĂ­genas Kimberly Silva, CĂ©lia XakriabĂĄ e Marcele Oliveira comoveram a sala com verdades poderosas sobre a proteção das pessoas, da cultura e da terra, conduzindo-nos em um abraço sincero e um cĂąntico poderoso que uniu todo o salĂŁo. TambĂ©m ouvimos nosso fundador @algore em uma conversa com o presidente da #COP30 do Brasil, fazendo as perguntas que todos queremos saber antes deste momento histĂłrico para a ação climĂĄtica. E nĂłs mesmos agimos, com os participantes preenchendo cartĂ”es postais para o presidente da COP 30 porque estamos aqui porque o clima nĂŁo pode esperar. E sabe o que mais mal podemos esperar? Dia 2. đŸ‡ș🇾: From the vibrant dancing of vogue funk by @imperadoresdadanca to being inspired by the voices and activists shaping Brazil’s climate future, Day 1 of #TheRealityTour in Rio had us on the edge of our seats. Our host, actress and activist Maria Silva, kept the momentum going as more than 800 leaders came together to learn, connect, and dream big. Indigenous leaders Kimberly Silva, CĂ©lia XakriabĂĄ, and Marcele Oliveira moved the room with powerful truths about protecting people, culture, and land - leading us in a heartfelt stretch, hug, and powerful chant that brought the entire ballroom together in unity. We also heard our founder Al Gore in conversation with Brazil’s #COP30 president, asking the questions we all want to know ahead of this historic moment for climate action. And we took action ourselves, with attendees filling out postcards to the COP 30 president because we are here because climate can’t wait. And you know what else we can’t wait for? Day 2. #ThisIsReality #LeadwithClimateReality

Sustainable construction is entering a stricter commercial and accountability phase. SDCL Efficiency’s planned wind-down shows that retrofit and energy-efficient buildings are vulnerable when investor confidence weakens, even though they remain central to net zero carbon buildings and to decarbonising the built environment. The message is blunt: environmental sustainability in construction must prove life cycle cost, building lifecycle performance and durable returns, rather than rely on green construction narratives. Developers and asset owners face greater pressure to embed sustainable building design, low carbon design and lifecycle assessment across existing estates and new low carbon building projects.

The Considerate Constructors’ Scheme has revised its checklist and scoring model for the UK and Ireland, pushing procurement and site management towards measurable sustainable building practices. Stronger scrutiny should sharpen whole life carbon assessment, embodied carbon control and the management of embodied carbon in materials, low carbon construction materials and resource efficiency in construction. Homes England’s debt facility with Richborough confirms that housing delivery still dominates public policy. Faster build-out without equal focus on whole life carbon, circular economy in construction, life cycle thinking in construction and the carbon footprint of construction risks locking in avoidable emissions. For teams aligning projects with BREEAM and BREEAM v7, the direction is clear: eco-design for buildings, sustainable material specification, environmental product declarations (EPDs) and net zero whole life carbon are becoming core tests of sustainable design.
