Não é só o 60° Treinamento Mundial do Climate Reality Tour realizado pelo Climate Reality Project, fundado por Al Gore, Prêmio Nobel da Paz, uma das maiores iniciativas globais de formação de liderança climática. É algo a mais. É o ponto de não retorno. É o encontro com as inquietações do passado. É a catarse particular por receber amor em suas mais variadas formas. O mesmo amor que moveu Alfredo Syrkis a sonhar e agir pelo Rio de Janeiro, transformando afeto em política, palavra em obra e que hoje dá nome ao Green Ring Award, reconhecimento aos projetos de Líderes da Realidade Climática que mais se destacaram no mundo. O mesmo amor que fez de Marina Silva, para os íntimos Maria Osmarina da Silva, uma força que nos alerta que é preciso ter graça, que é preciso ter sonho sempre. Como ela mesma disse: “Sonho é a coisa mais concreta que eu tive.” E com essa frase tocou o meu passado e tudo até aqui. Entre o sonho que se torna concreto e o amor que se faz ação, encontro a minha própria história. Prazer, a mais nova líder climática pelo The Climate Reality Project.

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.
