Hoje, 17, no Rio de Janeiro, concluí o treinamento internacional para líderes da emergência climática, realizado pelo @climatereality e @climaterealitybrasil, sob a condução de @algore — ex-vice-presidente dos EUA e Prêmio Nobel da Paz. Ao longo do treinamento, tivemos ainda a honra de aprender com @marinasilvaoficial, @celia.xakriaba, além de cientistas, pesquisadores e lideranças que estão na linha de frente do combate aos extremos climáticos. Não dá pra seguir de braços cruzados e não incluir essa pauta na nossa agenda, seja ela através de pequenas ou grandes atitudes. Tenho certeza que ninguém quer passar pelo que o Rio Grande do a Sul passou em 2024 com sua maior enchente da história e sua reconstrução já ultrapassou os 100 bilhões de gastos só da parte do governo federal. “Você é o mundo”, já dizia o filósofo Jiddu Krishamurti. Essa frase, que sempre inspirou o meu movimento de trabalho desde os tempos da faculdade de Direito e até hoje dentro de tudo que promovi de eventos no caminho da expansão da consciência, o meu compromisso com a co-criação da realidade em que vivemos, ecoou mais forte nestes dia diante do desgaste do planeta. Somos todos parte desse mesmo mundo e se cada um fizer sua parte a gente melhora muita coisa e evita o pior! 💚 Gratidão pela oportunidade @climatereality @climaterealitybrasil ! Vamos juntos! #climatereality

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.
