Foi um privilégio indescritível participar do treinamento The Reality Climate Project, uma experiência que mudou minha perspectiva sobre a urgência da crise climática. O evento, com a presença de gigantes como Al Gore (@algore ), o presidente da COP30 André Lago (@andrecorreadolago ) e cientistas renomados como Carlos Nobre e Thelma Kring, nos colocou frente a frente com dados e cenários que não podemos mais ignorar. Al Gore nos fez refletir sobre a fragilidade da nossa fina camada de ozônio e a responsabilidade que temos com nosso "esgoto a céu aberto", a atmosfera. Vimos como o aumento dos GEEs afeta os oceanos, causando o embranquecimento de corais, e como os desastres naturais têm gerado milhões de deslocados climáticos em todo o mundo. O Brasil, com sua rica matriz energética hídrica, também precisa diversificar e investir ainda mais em energias eólica e solar. O Presidente da COP30, André Lago e a Ministra Marina Silva (@marinasilvaoficial ) , reforçaram a importância do "Multirão Climático" e do Balanço Ético Global, uma abordagem que vai além do Acordo de Paris, buscando trazer a questão climática para a vida real de cada um. Como ele disse, o multilateralismo é a chave! O treinamento reforça uma verdade poderosa: a Terra é a nossa única casa. Como disse a Ministra, "A vida é insistência. E a vida é o que tem de mais insistente no universo!" Estou muito feliz em fazer da rede @climaterealityclimatebrasil e do @climatereality para ampliar essa mensagem. Compartilhe esse post e vamos juntos insistir em viver aqui e lutar por um futuro mais resiliente! #TheRealityClimateProject #Sustentabilidade #AlGore #COP30 #CriseClimatica #MeioAmbiente #TransicaoEnergetica #RioDeJaneiro #JusticaClimatica #Diversidade #AcaoPeloClima #MultiraoClimatico #FuturoResiliente #TerraNossaCasa

Sustainable construction is becoming a test of bankability, with asset owners backing projects that improve whole life carbon performance and meet a credible life cycle cost threshold. Aldi’s plan to install solar panels on half its UK stores by the end of 2026 shows that decarbonising the built environment is being driven by portfolio retrofit, energy-efficient buildings and low carbon design rather than headline-led new build. Sustainable building design, sustainable design and eco-design for buildings are being judged with far greater rigour through whole life carbon assessment, lifecycle assessment and building lifecycle performance, with stronger focus on embodied carbon, embodied carbon in materials and the carbon footprint of construction as the market pursues net zero carbon buildings and net zero whole life carbon.

EV charging is strengthening the business case for green infrastructure, with viable sites attracting sharply higher rents and turning car parks, grey land and brownfield plots into infrastructure for sustainable urban development. The planned wind-down of SDCL Efficiency shows that environmental sustainability in construction still has to satisfy conventional capital markets. Green construction, eco-friendly construction, low carbon building and carbon neutral construction are now expected to deliver measurable returns, not only sustainability claims.

Standards on site are tightening. The Considerate Constructors’ Scheme has revised its checklist and scoring model, raising expectations for sustainable building practices, resource efficiency in construction and low-impact construction. Recycleye’s latest AI sorting system supports the circular economy and circular economy in construction by improving recovery of green building materials, low carbon construction materials, low embodied carbon materials and renewable building materials. This strengthens life cycle thinking in construction, sustainable material specification, end-of-life reuse in construction and circular construction strategies, with growing value placed on environmental product declarations (EPDs), green building products and evidence frameworks associated with BREEAM and BREEAM v7.
